Well, Wellard, your tactical genius aside, may I point out some flaws in your plan?

#1: No one has the faintest damn clue where all of the nuclear reactors, ore refinery sites or even research labs are. A lot of them might actually be well underground.

#2: It has been proven that even a low-tech surface navy with the support of a few Cessnas could obliterate the US surface navy, I have my doubts that the UK surface navy would fare much better.

#3: Destroy Tehran? Yeah, sure, because it's not like the Iranians have any sort of airforce or anti-air defenses. And it's not like they'd annihilate the Coalition ground forces in Iraq or anything. I mean, those beleaguered ground forces constantly under attack by insurgents, who'll suddenly get a LOT more money, gear and support from regular Iranian army units as well as Revolutionary Guard maniacs.
