They could detonate in any city they want. How about those "open borders" now? Not from Venezuela, they could carry a nuke into this country in a backpack. They could detonate in any city they want.

Diplomacy only works on people willing to be diplomatic. How many times have we seen Kimm Jong Il walk away from the table? Or Ahmadenijhad? There is no diplomatic avenues with these psychos. If they threaten our lives, or the lives of our allies (fewer of those these days) we have no choice but to either sanction them to the brink of starvation or if the threat is serous enough, take them out; teach them a lesson. Except we have a have a stooge in office who will not take the heavy-handed approach with folks who need it because it might tarnish his new Peace medal. Your name says it all I fear.

To travel 7000 miles, a missile must effectively escape earth's atmosphere which pretty much means you have reached gravitational "escape velocity". We are talking about a missile that has achieved the velocity necessary to escape earh's gravity. The kill vehicle in missile defense is about the size of a Volkswagon. The velocity means the interceptor does not need explosives to destroy the target. At a combined impact velocity of 40,000 plus MPH, even a Volkswagon will cause a lot of damage.

It's ~7500 miles from Iran to the US; for a missile to reach the US in 33 minutes or less it would need to have an average speed of roughly 15,000MPH (about Mach 20). Perhaps a sea launch would match the numbers, but Iran does not have a Navel vessel capable of crossing the Atlantic and launching such a missile. The numbers are all off.
