Iran has come a long way since mid 1980's and USA did not? What are you smoking?
Do you see any comparison between the capabilities of USAN and IIN?
Don't get me wrong; IIN is good by Asian standards but it is no match against the USAN.
US was not fighting with Iran for Saddam. Saddam was fighting Iran.
Another load of bollocks from you.
Operation Praying Mantis was conducted on April 18, 1988. In one day, Iranian navy suffered heavy losses. However, US leadership decided to call off the attack. Otherwise, Iranian navy would have been wiped out in a day or two.
Now USAN is far more powerful and advanced. It is nearly invincible for navies of majority of the nations.
Where did you get the idea of 3 years of direct military engagement between USAN and IIN? Stop lying. It does not helps.
Completely irrelevant. And you know that Afghanistan is a lost cause. No nation can win war in Afghanistan. I am not talking about ground based offensive.
Bullshit.
The major conflict that USA was engaged in after WWII was COLD WAR. And everybody should know who won in it. The nations that became fronts during COLD WAR were Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
And Iraq was a powerful nation during 1990s with a proper standing army. It had the fourth largest military force in the world. Read about Gulf War 1991.
Iran never managed to take over Iraq.
How about this? If Iran was that powerful, it would have stopped USA from invading and occupying Iraq.
Also, during the Iraqi occupation; Muqtada Al-Sadr; the Iranian backed stooge lost battles against US forces and fled to Iran. He came back empty handed.
US will maintain some presence in Iraq. And current Iraqi government has been installed by US.
Tough talk. Unlike many Islamic nations; US has several victories under its belt.
First we need to check our own history and then talk about those who have accomplished something.
Come out from your fantasy world.
