It'll be interesting to watch unfold. I don't lose sleep over nuclear-equipped aircraft carriers like I do nuclear submarines. If you triple-dog dare someone to launch an anti-shipping attack on your glorified cargo freighter, there are multiple countries that will accept the challenge. If you make it a nuclear threat, you just gave your enemies an RSVP and casus belli. I don't like discounting Iran's capabilities, and I don't support the brinkmanship that is implied by blowing up an aircraft carrier. From a pragmatic perspective though, I just don't understand how this survives in a contested environment without importing Kalibr missiles and Russian point defense. Tomcats and subsonic drones are barely enough to harass a modernized military, and poorly suited to defense against retaliation.
