Saddam didn't have independent arm production or backing of its people. When NATO bombed the crap out of its military during the first Iraq War, Saddam never recovered. Iran on the other hand has several 100,000 of ballistic missiles to wipe the entire US airbases, logistical facilities and ships in the entire Middle East, Mediterranean as well as Diego Garcia. They have been building missiles around the clock for 35 years. In addition, Iran has an rapidly expanding inventory of tens of thousands of anti ship cruise missiles. Just by brute force, NATO cannot deliver conventional ordnance fast enough to match Iran's firepower within its 2000 KM radius.
Some food for thought:
Iran has 100,000 ballastic missiles? Even the most liberal estimate is at least over a thousand or a couple thousand but 100,000 thousand?
