As always, both a mass civilian slaughter and the prospect of withdrawal from Iraq in the event of an un-repellable Iranian assault are political problems. I would hesitate to underestimate the sheer power gap between the UK/US and Iran, were political considerations to be removed.

The fact that the coalition have ground forces in Iraq is both a disgrace and a problem worth considering Shamrock. I agree with you on the the power gap. While it may be nowhere near the shock and guffaw that was the Iraq invasion (I and II) to destroy Irans Military/ Navy/ docks/ airports - both civilian and military- from a distance with no intent of sending in one soldier would not be a problem for a combined coalition already in the area.
