Tensions between the U.S. and Iran appear to be de-escalating, but if
the Pentagon decides to punish Tehran, it has a vast array of options at
its disposal.
Submarine or ship-launched Tomahawk missiles could hit targets from
hundreds of miles away, B-2 stealth bombers could destroy enemy air
defenses from high altitudes while undetected and stealthy F-22s and
F-35s could attack enemy fighter jets with long-range sensors and
air-to-air weapons.
Amphibious assault ships could launch F-35Bs, carriers could catapult
F-18s into attack missions and the Pentagon could even launch recently
tested medium-range, cruise missiles from fixed ground locations.
Any of these scenarios are within the realm of the possible if tensions
between the U.S. and Iran flare up again.
“As we evaluate the situation and our response, we will take all
necessary measures to protect and defend U.S. personnel, partners and
allies in the region,” a Jan. 7 Department of Defense statement said.
The attacked bases, Ain al-Asad Air Base and Irbil, have been on high
alert in recent days due to “indications that the Iranian regime planned
to attack our forces and interests in the region,” the Pentagon
statement said.
