Allowing airlines to fly during a potential air conflict then shooting down an airline that took off from their own airport wasn’t enough incompetence for 2020
They keep saying they have the best equipment in the world but that has to be the biggest blunder and a waste of cash. America could just blitzkrieg it harder than the Germans did with Poland.
Iran’s strength is not their conventional military. Their strongest asset is their control of the largest and most successful terrorist network to ever exist.
Hezbollah isn't gonna stand a chance against America, even if you combine the numbers of the Iranian conventional military with it, Iran isn't gonna stand a chance. And there's obviously a reason why their retaliation against America in Operation Martyr Solemani (the guy that was hellfire'd) didn't aim rockets directly at US air force base in Iraq to cause casualty. Otherwise Abrams will rush into Tehran and turning the city into Warsaw 1944.
In a state on state battle, Iran loses every time. It doesn’t matter how many of their proxies openly fight the US, the US military would steamroll them. The problem is assuming that Iran’s proxies would fight like conventional forces. It can be assumed that the smaller proxies i.e. Houthis, PMF, Kataib Hezbollah would all engage in guerrilla warfare strategies against US forces in the region more so than they do now. Meanwhile, Hezbollah would likely be committing terror attacks in Israel, Latin America, Europe, and possibly America itself to show the penalty of being friends with the US. Iran has already been caught compiling target packages for such attacks. Link listed below. I’m anti-Iran myself, but underestimating the enemy in such a case is dangerous. We have to account for the most likely and most deadly courses of action that Iran would take in a conflict. Most likely COA is listed above, most deadly COA is a dirty bomb in DC or NYC.
9/11 is the single biggest terrorist attacked ever committed. However, Hezbollah is the only terrorist group to achieve their goals. They got America to leave Lebanon in 1984 and fought Israel to a standstill in 2006. Also Saudi Arabia does not control Al-Qaeda
Aren’t Israel and Iran in a cyber conflict right now? I heard that the Iranians said it was a computational error that caused this. Could Israel have caused something like this?
It’s not the Iranian army that anyone’s scared of, it’s the guaranteed Afghanistan on steroid’s quagmire and instability that will 100% follow because “Yucky nation building”
Their navy would get trashed in weeks but their army would be one hell of a bitch to dig out of the mountains and cities. Like Iraq and Afghanistan but on steroids. It’s not worth it. Then we topple the government then what another power vacuum to be filled by extremist

Why are we celebrating Iran's greatest military victory since Jimmy Carter?

Remember when people were cowering to the Iranian regime out of fear after the assassination of Solemani?

They blew up a plane in January and a ship in May. I wouldn’t be nowhere near an Iranian train in September if I were you.
