With a confrontation with Iran looming ever closer, what is the truth about the US Navy's ability to defend against the dreaded C-802 missile? Supposedly these missiles are cheap to manufacture and the Iranian, Chinese, and Pakistani military all possess these missiles in huge numbers. They can apparently be launched from hovercraft, fast moving small vessels, and aircraft.

This is the same missile that was launched by Hezbollah that nearly sunk an Israeli vessel in 2006.

Could this be part of the reason why there has been huge procrastination involved with the Iranian issue?

Any thoughts?
