Would dolphins declare war on humans?

Aliens have come to Earth, and decided that the most intelligent life on the planet must live in the water, because it makes up most of the planet. They encounter dolphins and, upon learning to translate their language, form an alliance with them.

Given that humans:

• Eat them
• Keep them for entertainment
• Pollute their homes
• Made Flipper

Given that the aliens are prepared to provide the dolphins with material support and that dolphins have human intelligence, the dolphins (with the help of the aliens) declare war on the humans because of our treatment of them in the past.

The dolphins have been provided with:

• Underwater cruise missiles with a range of 5 - 8 miles the explosive radius of these alien missiles can level entire city blocks.
• Nose mounted underwater rapid cutting torches (NMURCT) these can slice a 1' x 1' square through battleship and submarine hulls in ~ 1 minute.

The goal of the conflict is to keep humans off the oceans and release any captive dolphins.

Given this scenario, how could the humans win (preferably without just nuking everything)?
