"Iran will not fight fair "

I think they might TRY, right at first. If you look at a map of the area, they can target EVERY ship in the Persian Gulf with their thousands of Chinese and Russian anti-ship missiles from their coast. They can aslo target the tanker loading facilities on the Gulf with their larger missiles. We can stop some, but surely not ALL. They'll have had years now to prepare and game it out.

They might be able to shut down enough of the world's oil economy to sent the price to $200 or $300 a barrel.

Then the campaign of terror would commence. To expect a much smaller, weaker country to "fight fair" with the US is really ludicrous. Would YOU go mano y mano with the world's heavyweight champ and "fight fair"? Not ME pal!
