Nece Amerikanci ulaziti u Persiski zaliv uopste dok ne samelju sve sumnjivo avionima i tomahavcima.
Ranih 2000ih su imali simulaciju rata sa Iranom i Americki penzionisani komandant "Iranske" strane je potopio Americku flotu sa raketama i camcima samoubicama za 2 dana.
Sigurno nece ponoviti gresku.
Ako se dobro secam Persiski zaliv je relativno plitak te su tezi brodovi ograniceni na puno uzi pojad vece dubine sto im ogranicava manevriranje.
Okupacija Irana, brdsko planinske zemlje bi licila na vanbracno dete Avganistana i Cecenije. Na steroidima

Red, commanded by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, adopted an asymmetric strategy, in particular, using old methods to evade Blue's sophisticated electronic surveillance network. Van Riper used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to front-line troops and World-War-II-style light signals to launch airplanes without radio communications.
Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel. Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected.

Van Riper gained notoriety after the Millennium Challenge 2002 wargame. He played the Red Team opposing force commander, and easily sank a whole carrier battle group in the simulation with an inferior Middle-Eastern "red" team in the first two days.

After the simulation was restarted with different parameters, he claimed that the wargame had been fixed to falsely validate the current doctrine of the U.S. Navy.[3] He is also critical of plans for the occupation of Iraq and their implementation following the Iraq War. On April 24, 2006, he joined several other retired generals in calling for then-US Secretary of Defense and Iraq War architect Donald Rumsfeld's resignation.[4]
