| #8 It isn't the destroyer that matters. It's the supply ship. Indeed. The destroyer is just there to keep it company. I was responding to this: the purpose of these ships is to launch an attack. |

| #7 A lone destroyer in the Eastern Med without air cover would have a short but exciting life when the party starts It isn't the destroyer that matters. It's the supply ship. |

| #5 I'd be concerned about IRBM's launched off that supply ship. Really short reaction times if fired from the coast of Syria. That ship should have an accident to take it out of play. |

| #2 More like bringing goodies to Iran's pet miscreants. A lone destroyer in the Eastern Med without air cover would have a short but exciting life when the party starts. |

| #1 Israel must assume that the purpose of these ships is to launch an attack. Fortunately, having recently accomplished a treaty with Cyprus, narrows the field by which the Iranian ships could approach before entering the exclusion zone. |
