Exactly, because they can't hit us from Iran doesn't mean that a ship sitting in international waters off our coast couldn't launch something a couple hundred miles into our atmosphere. Even if we knew exactly when they launched would we be able to stop it? We may take out their ships but it would be to late for us and a complete victory for them.
