Ayatollah's arsenal vs. American firepower: Iran's top 4 threats and how we fight back

Ayatollah Khamenei on X ramped up threats to send U.S. warships to the bottom of the sea. "Americans constantly say that they’ve sent a warship toward Iran. Of course, a warship is a dangerous piece of military hardware. However, more dangerous than that warship is the weapon that can send that warship to the bottom of the sea," he (or his minions) tweeted Feb 17.

Admiral Brad Cooper, who’s in charge of United States Central Command, has forces to counter Iran, and to carry out strikes if so ordered.
