If Iran ends up sending more towards the IOF (in addition to USA targets), then I hope they include the "settlements" in West Bank. The open attacks on Palestinians with support of the IOF, should flip all "settlements" as 100% valid targets.

Related to USA targets. Is Iran trying to hit any the aircraft carriers with their hypersonic missiles? I know they are harder to hit since they actively move around and the stationary targets do matter. Just seems like even losing one would fuck things up for the USA projecting power.

Iran doesn't have a way to find and target a shop like that in real time. It's a really difficult problem to solve without air superiority or space superiority, neither of which Iran has. So I'm sure they'd love to hit a carrier but they can't really target one

Figured it was something like that. Only thing that would suck if they did hit one or any of the other ships/subs that are nuclear powered is the nuclear contamination. Which I guess is a kind of unintended deterrent for sinking any of them for any nation that has them. Would want to fuck them up, while trying to avoid the plant in a way that also still allows them to be tugged away I guess. Though it would still get a similar impact as sinking since it removes an asset and cost so much in all logistics.
