I offered this in response to Mungo over at the Koid. I think it may be better discussed here.

Nothing more.
Nothing less.
The question is... what is the motivation?
Stupid question I know.... but it IS a suicide mission, and they must be highly motivated.
Why do they think it will matter?
A quick easily manipulative headline?
This shit must stop... any attack from either side just promotes another.
Iran can take out a carrier easily with a barrage of Sunburns and America knows that. Think Exocet. Remember the Falklands War? This war will take place a little differently. It will begin with a nuclear EMP attack high over Tehran carried there by an Israeli Jericho missile. After the Iranian defenses have been blinded by the pulse and all electronics fried beyond repair, the real attack will commence. It will consist of a cruise missile barrage numbering in the hundreds. The entire 'war' will be over in a matter of a few hours. The Iranians are fully aware of this scenario and have been left with just two choices: preemption or surrender. The IDF has called this strategy 'Operation Check Mate.'
And that's all she wrote...
