People know Iran can sink a carrier, right?

Not sure they will, but they could if they wanted to.

Do you have any evidence of this assertion at all? Remember we used WW2 carriers for nuclear target practice and they proved to be far more resilient than expected.

If this is “debunking”, then no.

Though Iran claims Fattah-2 is designed to penetrate advanced missile defenses through unpredictable flight paths, Western analysts have expressed skepticism about its actual capabilities in deterrence calculations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fattah-2

To me, sounds a bit too much like “experts agree” though

Nobody has a maneuverable mach 15 missile and the payload carried by such an object would be equivalent to a mouse fart even if it existed. The physics just don't match what's possible for the US and therefore it can be safely assumed the Iranians can't match it.

I already know you're going to point to ICBMs which is a gross misunderstanding of what HGVs are supposed to be. They're barely maneuverable and can't hit targets as small as a moving carrier. Current assessments also show the Iranians don't have fission or fusion yet, and conventional payloads on one would be fucking useless.

Ok then,

AI Overview

The Oreshnik ("Hazel Tree") is a Russian hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) capable of striking targets across Europe with multiple warheads. First used in November 2024, it travels at speeds exceeding Mach 10 (approx. 8,000 mph). It is designed to be "unstoppable" by current defense systems, carrying MIRVs (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles).

Iran doesn't have oreshnik, and the ones Russia have been launching into Ukraine have been kinetic only (i.e. no explosive payload) purely as a demonstration of capabilities of their nuclear MIRVs. They also have a several Km sized CEP which makes them fine for a nuke, but entirely pointless for hitting a moving aircraft carrier. You have absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about.

The damage inflicted on the IRGC top brass last summer indicated a level of on the ground/human intel that is wildly different than anything that’s existed previously, like we/Mossad were nowhere close to that level in Iran at any point during Iraq or Syria. If this goes forward and they’re actually trying for regime change and not just some symbolic bullshit to “keep up pressure” then they have to have left a ton of meat on the bone in July and it basically means they have a shitload of collaborators and defectors within the IRGC that are actively working to end the regime/kill the mullahs.
