You OVERestimate the power of Iran's missiles.

They are basically Iran's version of the al-Hussein...a pimped-out Scud produced indigenously. Neither accurate nor deadly...unless you happen to be where it randomly lands (kind of like getting struck by lightning)

The PG isn't exactly a small place...it's not like those ships can't maneuver...or defend themselves.

Why haven't we attacked yet? Because diplomacy is still being attempted.

Iran has also got something called the "sunburn missile", apparently there is no defence to it

google it up
Back in the 30's the believed there was no defence against the bomber either

um.. remember the USS Stark

http://www.navybook.com/nohigherhonor/pic-stark.shtml

"USS Stark (FFG-31), twenty-third ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Admiral Harold Rainsford Stark (1880–1972). In 1987, it became the victim of the only successful anti-ship missile attack on a U.S. Navy warship."

Note that the Stark was equipped with the top of the line (back then) anti missile system.. the Phalanx CIWS ..

No weapons were fired in defense of Stark. The Phalanx CIWS remained in standby mode.

That was 20 years ago.. of course anti missiles systems have improved so have the missiles..  The Stark was hit by a exocet.. approx the speed of sound..

The SS-N-22 (sunburn) goes 2 or 3 times the speed of sound.. 

The target ship have 20-25 second of response time.. not too much time for evasive maneuver (sp)

That little toy will hurt you bad..

No weapons were fired, then how does that mean the CIWS couldn't shoot it down? They weren't fired so you won't know.

In that particular case, the CIWS was suppose to fire automatically at any incoming missile..  it failed.. doesnt mean it will fail every time but my point is that if it failed to detect a exocet who is cruising almost at the speed of sound, how will it react when 2 or 3 sunburn will come at 2 and 3 times the speed of sounds.

Who knows what will happen but i expect some US ships going down for sure.

One ship. Ya, bla bla bla one ship is too much but considering how many ships we have. And the boat didn't even sink.

You can have missiles going over mach 2 or 3, but does it have the radar technology to actually do something?
This wacko Iranian president is pulling so much bullshit out of his ass. Just like their new awesome fighter jet, the Saegeh.

I just found this searching for their new jet fighter.

ridiculous. If it ever comes to an armed conflict between the US and Iran, the US military would destroy any existing iranian missile launcher, ship, or plane before they'd even be able to fire anything.

That was also 21 years ago, ship defence systems will have vastly been improved in that time, especially their computer and electrical systems that make them more reliable and accurate. Better radar will also have been established. If they attacked a carrier battle group,

1. they'd be detected long before they get in range
2. they'd have to face off with aircraft from the carrier patrolling the skies
3. considering they actually make it to launch range, the missiles would be faced with jmaming systems as well as the CIWS, and an aircraft carrier has more than one CIWS.

Like i posted, i agree that techology have improved on both side since 1980.

1. The target have 20-25 seconds response time so like i said, forget about evasive maneuver
2. No aircraft will have the time to shoot down a missile going at 2 and 3 times the speed of sound.  forget it
3. Lets hope that the CIWSs will not react the same way that the one on the USS Stark.   ie not doing anything at all

I actually meant US aircraft nailing the Iranian one before it got anywhere near launch range, after all, the new jets have beyond visual range missiles.

What makes you so sure the Sunburn can take out a ship? Just because it flies at Mach 2 or 3?

"Nov 2004: The Sunburn - Iran's Russian Missile Could Destroy US Navy in Gulf
       Many years ago, Soviet planners gave up trying to match the US Navy ship for ship, gun for gun, and dollar for dollar.  They shrewdly adopted an alternative approach based on strategic defense - developing several supersonic anti-ship missiles, one of which, the SS-N-22 Sunburn, has been called "the most lethal missile in the world today." Today, Russian missiles are a growth industry generating much-needed cash for Russia, with many billions in combined sales to India, China, Viet Nam, Cuba, and also Iran. In the near future this dissemination of advanced technology is likely to present serious challenges to the US. Some have even warned that the US Navy's largest ships, the massive carriers, have now become floating death traps, and should for this reason be mothballed.
     The Sunburn missile has never seen use in combat, to my knowledge, which probably explains why its fearsome capabilities are not more widely recognized. Other cruise missiles have been used, of course, on several occasions, and with devastating results.
     During the Falklands War, French-made Exocet missiles, fired from Argentine fighters, sunk the HMS Sheffield and another ship. And, in 1987, during the Iran-Iraq war, the USS Stark was nearly cut in half by a pair of Exocets while on patrol in the Persian Gulf. Not only is the Sunburn much larger and faster, it has far greater range and a superior guidance system.
    The Sunburn can deliver a 200-kiloton nuclear payload, or: a 750-pound conventional warhead, within a range of 100 miles, more than twice the range of the Exocet. The Sunburn combines a Mach 2.1 speed (two times the speed of sound) with a flight pattern that hugs the deck and includes "violent end maneuvers" to elude enemy defenses. The missile was specifically designed to defeat the US Aegis radar defense system.  A single one of these missiles can sink a large warship, yet costs considerably less than a fighter jet.
     The US Navy has never faced anything in combat as formidable as the Sunburn missile.  Try and imagine it if you can: barrage after barrage of Exocet-class missiles, which the Iranians are known to possess in the hundreds, as well as the unstoppable Sunburn and Yakhonts missiles. The questions that our purblind government leaders should be asking themselves, today, if they value what historians will one day write about them, are two: how many of the Russian anti-ship missiles has Putin already supplied to Iran? And: How many more are currently in the pipeline?
    The US Navy will come under fire even if the US does not participate in the first so-called surgical raids on Iran's nuclear sites, that is, even if Israel goes it alone.  Armed with their Russian-supplied cruise missiles, the Iranians will close the lake's only outlet, the strategic Strait of Hormuz, cutting off the trapped and dying Americans from help and rescue. The US fleet massing in the Indian Ocean will stand by helplessly, unable to enter the Gulf to assist the survivors or bring logistical support to the other US forces on duty in Iraq.
      With enough anti-ship missiles, the Iranians can halt tanker traffic through Hormuz for weeks, even months. With the flow of oil from the Gulf curtailed, the price of a barrel of crude will skyrocket on the world market. Within days the global economy will begin to grind to a halt."

The wiki article says the Sunburn is submarine launched, not air or land, also its range appears to be only 240km, the carrier groups could position outside of that and radar would detect it within that range I believe. The RN suffered a few ship losses in the Falklands due to Exocets, but that was likely because the ships were in such close proximity to the islands, one had a bomb dropped on it.

It hasn't been proven in combat. So you can't be so sure about it. Just because it is said to do something doesn't mean it can. 

Saddam surely said that the mother of all battles has begun and he will teach NATO forces a lesson. Look what happened to the fourth largest army in the world during the Gulf War.

If the missile would be proven in combat, then maybe I'd believe the hype about it.

If they started sinking our ships, Iran would be a crater.

We've got MOABs, we've got daisy cutters, we've probably got tactical nukes, and I wouldn't be surprised if we even had neutron or EMP bombs.
