They will use terror! Actually it wont be terror. My reasoning is that the US has been warned about the consequence of its actions. The US can not pull a Nasralah and say "If we knew what was going to happen, we would not have started it" The Message was clear you hit Iran and you suffer. OTOH what happened to NK? They developed and tested their nukes. What did the US do? Oh sorry, the crazy man in NK made it clear to the US that he will attack the US hence the US backed it down.

"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. fas.org 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!
