Well, there were two types of Ohio Class, SSGN and SSBN. This is probably going to be the "gun boat" of Ohio, the SSGN, which packs 150 tomahawk missile, but then it wouldn't make sense unless they want to do a seaborne invasion.I don’t know what O is but I know what types you are referring to. Arent B2s capable of that? But then why (in the order of most likely imo):
- The war is senseless and the idiotic admin is just asking military to have things in place
- There is a chance that Iran gets to do a test in which case it may be considered
- If Iran not only tests but manages to launch one
- Some people are trying to fullfil biblical prophesies here (i hope not as that would be disastrous for the world and region)
But the other thing on the coin is that they were using the SSBN, which means it's medium range tactical nuke.......
I don't think Iran's test is unlikely, the last report suggested Iran is at around 80% enrichment level (IIRC it's 83), it's going to take at least 5 years + for them to get to around 90 in peace time (That's how long Japan took witht their fast neutron research between 2008 to 2014 when they handed the HEU back to the EIA), which is suitable for a nuclear weapon. And then you also need missile technology and miniaturisation to be able to become a threat. That's multiple decades away.
