#1 Umm... maybe we'll use an flippin aircraft carrier (hint - like the ones we used in WWII) or just fly a B-2 round-trip from CONUS. A little less apocalyptic don't ya think?

#2 IMO this is Russia's roundabout = PDeniable way of thraetening to close down the NDN of supply routes into Afghanistan.

Ala the "Japan/Egypt Model", as long as Iran technically or officially maintains no NucWEaps of any sort, IMO Russia believes there will be no war on Iran as the US-NATO, Israel will lack a premise for one before the UNSC where Russia has veto power.
