4 I laid out the strategy that would work: If Iran attacked a ship, they lose a port, beginning with Bandar Abbas, their primary container port. Take it down to ground level, then pulverize the ground, using an old-fashioned ARCLIGHT-type strike, only bigger. Tell Iran that if there's another ship attack, they'll lose another port, probably Kharg Island. Then keep hitting ports until the Iranians quit or there aren't any left. If we run out of ports, start hitting mosques, since they're centers of this preaching of irrational hate. When you run out of mosques, start in on road intersections, ad infinitum, until Iran changes its behavior or it surrenders. There is only one option for the US, and that is to win. Anything else only prolongs the battle.
