Can Iran potentially put a nuclear weapon on the tip of that torpedo and
take out one of our carriers?
If so this poses a real threat to our ships. If the weapon is as good as
they say it is.

The Soviets developed nuclear-tipped torpedos and deployed them during
the Cuban Missle Crisis. Since it is unlikely that Iran has an
operational weapon (yet) they would be a long way from developing
anything quite so "tactical" in-house.

I don't know if these can be had on the market (open or black) and
what type of support it takes to keep them operational.
