There are a lot of comments here saying that this is not the most insane thing ever said in history, when it really is:

The US has sold 0 Tomahawks to Iran, and it is exclusively available to closest US allies, which are all in the “pure demonic hatred towards” Iran club. It is categorically ignorant of all historical US doctrine, and the extreme insanity of US government is no one has told him how unacceptably stupid he is for even suggesting it.

Tomahawks further require special launching hardware, including a specific fitting rocket booster, software, and a US satelitte data link for any targeting.
