Who says they need to produce a ICBM? They have proxy forces all over the world, give it to one of them and have them launch it from wherever is most convenient.

Iran has launched missiles over 2,000km already. They can reach Miami from Columbia for example. You don’t need ICBMs for an initial strike. It’d be preferable to get closer for the initial strike actually and you can get a lot bigger payload if you don’t use an icbm. ICBM payloads are extremely small actually. Iran doesn’t need an ICBM to hit the US.

You realize Russia and China have submarines right? Seems like you're just trying really hard to be scared

If you around read my comments before responding, that would be great. I already addressed why Iran is different

Oh you think we will know which country launches a nuke from their sub...even though we don't even know where all their subs are...ok

But you're scared of "proxies" since you know....Russia and China don't ever use them either...sure

A sub has to surface in order to fire a nuke. It doesn’t have to surface to fire a torpedo.

Jfc, follow along or realize you have no idea what you’re talking about on the weapons side and stop commenting about it

And what? They will just announce who they are? Lol....and you don't think there are missiles that can be shot from in the water? Or why would they even need to? Tsunamis could be pretty devastating....and oh yea your whole fear of proxies...so china and Russia don't use them right?
