Before making condescending moronic remarks, a little research might help you.
This is a system that is currently in the works. However, we have defensive missiles paired with early warning satellites that provide us with great comfort in the meantime.

Simply put - that won't happen.
If it were that easy, don't you think the US would be destroyed already?
Tehran plans an underground test of a one-kiloton nuclear device during 2012, DEBKAfile reports. Underground facilities are under construction in great secrecy behind the clamor raised by the start of advanced uranium enrichment at Iran's fortified Fordo bunker-site.debka.com...#
Iran has crossed another red line in its drive for a nuclear weapon with the announcement Sunday, Jan. 8 that the underground uranium enrichment site at Fordo near Qom goes on stream soon. DEBKAfile's military sources: uranium enriched to 60 percent can be produced at this facility - just one step before weapons grade.debka.com...#
Washington and Jerusalem were dismayed to discover last week that Egypt's transitional military rulers (SCAF) were preparing to drop the reins of government and hand them over - lock, stock and barrel, including the armed forces - to civilian rule, i.e., the Muslim Brotherhood, at the earliest opportunity.debka.com...#
Why is Iran so dangerous?
They are a theocracy, and their leadership should be considered categorically insane...
Russia also has strategic ties to regional Islamic countries. Russia is actively aiding Iran in building nuclear power plants that will giver Iran nuclear material for nuclear weapons. The Arab/Islamic countries have one common enemy and at some point they will try to rid themselves of the Israeli presence with Russia as their protector. The prophecies in Ezekiel 38 and 39 indicate that God will put a hook in the jaw of Russia and bring her down against the land of Israel in the latter years. The hook could very well be the defense pacts and economic agreements that Russia has established with Syria, Iran and other Islamic nations. In the battle described in Ezekiel, Russia will be the leader of a regional coalition against Israel.

And come to think of it, if they wanted to attack the US they could justify it the way the US warmongers justify their wars. "rid the world of tyranny"
Twelver Shi'as cite various references from the Qur'an and reports, or Hadith, from Imam Mahdi and the twelve Shi'a Imams with regard to the reappearance of al-Mahdi who would, in accordance with Allah's command, bring justice and peace to the world by establishing Islam throughout the world. Mahdi is reported to have said: Shi'as believe that Imam al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason. At this time, it is believed, half of the true believers will ride from Yemen carrying white flags to Makkah, while the other half will ride from Karbala, in Iraq, carrying black flags to Makkah. At this time, Imam al-Mahdi will come wielding Allah's Sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane, Zulfiqar (Arabic: ذو الفقار, ðū l-fiqār), the Double-Bladed Sword. He will also come and reveal the texts in his possession, such as al-Jafr and al-Jamia. Shi'as believe that Jesus will also come (after Imam Mahdi's re-appearance) and follow the Imam Mahdi to destroy tyranny and falsehood and to bring justice and peace to the world.
Shi'as believe that Imam al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason.

If there is a God then I will like to see which side he chooses, sorry to say but Round 1 we win apparently, but Round 2 if people are in the rapture God will leave it to them to sort it out while the left behind will be awakened by it to fend for them selves along with a few natural disasters coming to a place near the Middle East.
As long as America has faith nothing will stop them, as soon as they let go that is it.

Logical interpretation hasn't often stopped fanatics though.
However, to me it seems they don't want to get into a war judging from how they haven't gotten into a war yet. This may be because they are waiting to get a nuke, but I am skeptical about that.
From here. If it happens for no reason, then trying to start a war would be in contradiction to their beliefs.

Well it's nice to know G-d wears a Yankees cap.
And you people say Iran is evil because of some 12 Iman bs.
Let's go to some foreign land, kill some folks, and ride the Rapture.
This thinking scares me more than any Muslim Mumbo Jumbo.
