Right Iran has no means of hurting or inflicting serious damage on the US fleets in the ME. Well let me give you a short history lesson, do you remember those poor 3rd world small men wearing pyjamas who wuped America's ass in a place I'm sure you will all recall.
And once again American military prowess has not won the day in Iraq, this should tell you something, its either your military is not as good as you think it is, the people and Goverment back home do not support those who they send to do their fighting or you TOTALLY UNDERESTIMATE YOUR ENEMY. Wars are not just won with weapons alone but with ideologies and the mindset of those who do the fighting.
"The US armed forces bombed one end of the main highway from Kuwait city to Basra, sealing it off. They bombed the other end of the highway and sealed it off. They positioned mechanized artillery units on the hills overlooking it. And then, from the air and from the land they simply massacred every living thing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armored battalions poured merciless firepower on traffic jams backed up for as much as twenty miles. When the traffic became grid locked, the B-52s were sent in for carpet bombing." Our forces did not wait for the fleeing people to surrender, they did not surround them and force them to surrender, they just exterminated them. Americans never heard about the "Highway of Death," they just paid for it, a slaughter that, in Barnes' words "ranks among the great atrocities of modern warfare."

Why arent the Iran-backed Militias in Iraq importing some of those wonder weapons and Gun down the US there?
I doubt those missiles are as wonderful as it may seem. Remember those GPS jammer Iraq bought and werent worth jack in the end? Of course Im more confident in those missiles, since they are actually Warheads and not just Techtrick. If it really was That easy to smoke the US, I think people would have done it before.
And then again, you are suggesting to prepare for a war against an occupying force while nothing suggest the US is willing to Occupy Iran right now. They moved a fleet, you don't occupy a Country with a Fleet. They already have their hands full with Iraq
As for the Fuel, I think the Carriers run on nuclear reactors?
