If some chinese samples of this unstoppable carrier killer made its way to Iran already. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/iran-nears-deal-buy-supersonic-anti-ship-missiles-china-2026-02-24/ https://www.reuters.com/world/china/iran-nears-deal-buy-supe... Also, the US News media silence on this is noteworthy. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=reuters+cm-302+missile&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=reuters+cm-302+missile&ia=w...

If Iran sinks a carrier then the us congress will declare an actual war and that will seal Irans fate. Also, seal the fate of hundreds of thousands of lives.

  So US citizens like you actually expect other countries to accept being attacked by you without as little as defending themselves?

    Please show where I said anything of the sort?

      You are a us citizen and comment against the right of countries to defend themselves against the us. How come?

      Still reading into my comment and intent. I simply posted as 1. an under-reported fact pertaining to matters of military strategy. 2. The lack of coverage in the US News Media BTW, you're also presumptuous AND mistaken about my nationality. As if nationality is a indicator or in your case a guarantee of a person's ideology.

    It appears to be the position of much of Europe's leaders too.

    Anyone can do whatever they want. I’m just saying sinking a us carrier doesn’t stop the conflict and, instead, makes it 2 or 3 orders of magnitude worse.

  According to the Times of Israel Khamenei has been killed. I think that already counts as actual war.

    Reuters coverage for those interested: "Khamenei's body has been found and he is confirmed dead, Israeli official says" <https://www.reuters.com/world/iran-crisis-live-explosions-tehran-israel-announces-strike-2026-02-28/ https://www.reuters.com/world/iran-crisis-live-explosions-te...> Times of Israel: <https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-february-28-2026/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-february-28-2026/>

  I'm not so sure. I think Trump would taco. A carrier is fair game, especially when you shoot first. There wouldn't be a coalition with half of Europe. Because of bridges burned.

This seems to be a short range (290km) anti-ship cruise missile. Definitely not an unstoppable carrier killer What could threaten US carries are China’s DF-21D/26D – anti-ship ballistic missiles with reported ranges of > 2000km – and Iran is not getting them https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/chinas-carrier-killers-how-df-21d-and-df-26b-missiles-threaten-us-navy-207372 https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/chinas-carrier-killer...
