Including F-22s. The carrier isn’t really needed. All you need is a few of the right subs, a few of the right destroyers, and those F-22s in Qatar to basically decimate the war making ability of Iran.

Then if they are still giving the finger.. there are some bored Apache and A-10 pilots who would love to bat cleanup.
