Actually there was a pilot that was a naval bomber or something. And there was a boat captain (not a warship more of a landing ship).
Could that work though, attacking iceland from the artic then interdecting the western navys from iceland?
That wasn't the point. In Red Strom Rising, the bombers were hitting from the northern USSR. Iceland was invaded to cut the GIUK sub nets, which allowed Soviet SSNs into the Atlantic. With their SSBNs shelters and protected in Soviet waters, the SSNs were being used as attack tools.
Debt of Honor was an interesting brawl, particuarly as it was one carrier (John C. Stennis) against two island bases. Using ex-boomers as attack boats is pretty bold, but the Ohios CAN do that. That's why after they get away from port (and Soviet/Russian SSNs) they are usually out on their own.
The idea of an armed-to-the-teeth Iran taking a swipe at the USN is an interesting idea. Assuming you don't get an Iran-Iraq war, you could see Iran keeping yelling but not much fighting, and during Desert Storm they keep what the Iraqis fly there. That would add two AWACS birds and a bunch of Russian fighters, including some MiG-29s, to the IRIAF. You'd end up with an air force buildup in Saudi and Israel to counter the IRIAF.
The Iranians bought Kilo-class subs, too. I imagine they'd use those. The Kilos are good, but the Americans are bloody good at ASuW, so the Iranians would have to pick their battles carefully, and watch for the Los Angeles class attack subs.
