Can anyone answer/speculate the question:
"What will happen if USA would bomb Iran?"

It would fuck them up big time and have global consequences.

- From where and with what would it bomb? [If from sea, tell me how near the fleet has to come.]

If from the Sea: The Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean. We have lots of naval power in the region that DoD admits to and considering the tension in the region there is probably plenty more attack submarines lurking about armed with Tomahawk missiles whose whereabouts are classified. (one of them even collided with a commercial vessle in the hormuz strait about a month ago IIRC)

As far as range is concerned...

The TOMAHAWK weapons system is the U.S. Navy’s premier, precision strike standoff weapon for attack of long range, medium range and tactical targets. The TOMAHAWK cruise missile is armed with either nuclear, conventional unitary or conventional submunitions payloads and is capable of being launched from surface ships and submarines. Tomahawk cruise missiles are designed to fly at low altitudes, high subsonic speeds, and are flown over an evasive route by several mission tailored guidance systems. In any weather, day or night, TOMAHAWK cruise missiles can fly up to 1,350 miles (nuclear) 1,000 miles (conventional) to deliver their payloads with incredible accuracy. http://www.strikenet.js.mil/pma-280/description.htm

More than a stones throw...And AFAIK nobody has ever shot down a Tomahawk.

(just out fishing...Where the fuck did THAT come from!)

And don't forget those aircraft carriers etc...
