ahahahahahha.........this is funny.
My good Iranian friends here do know that i do admire Irans strive for independence/self sufficiency despite all the strict sanctions it has had to endure for decades now. But to say the U.S is scared of Iran Military. loool This couldnt be more further from the truth.
The U.S has by farrrrrr, the largest/most powerful military on the globe. In fact even the next 2 big followers i.e Russia and China are still no match for the U.S and they themselves know it(not in at least 2-3 decades will they even get close). So, you think the U.S will be scared of Iran?
Its true Iran is quite advanced/strong compared to its neighbours in the middle east bar Israel, but to think the Iran could be a match for the U.S militarily is laughable with all due respect bro.
Even Russia and China will be decimated in the event of a conventional full scale war with the U.S(though the U.S will be damaged considerably as well, but far less) , forget about Iran.
You're right my friend... but it is not the story of comparing Iranian military to US's. In fair equal confrontation USA eats Iranian army alive. But the subject is not the whole Vs whole confrontation my friend...
Iran never threateded to invade USA... USA did...
The comparision is on this basis:
USA comes to attack Iran.. Where is the battle field? Persian gulf and Oman sea + Aerial attack + tomohowks + afew other stuff... Here if the context of war is as I mentioned and US intentions is to invade Iran, then they most probably fail to do so... why... it is simple.. and USA commanders themselves are aware of this...
It is not that Iranian army comes to the middle of oceans and confront USA army as a whole... a possible attack will have limited geographical grounds... Iran does not need to destroy USA!! All she needs to do is to fail USA's plans for Iran... It is like Iran-IRaq war... we call it a victory for Iran because Saddam promised to capture Tehran in weeks... make a march there... He was equipped his army all over again almost 3 times, and his army was way better equipped than Iran's at that time... Why it is a victory for Iran... because Iran lost no land to them... made Saddam's plans fail...
Now, imagine if USA attacks Iran... they will use aerial attack... navy in south... precise cruise missiles... Iran currently has enough strength to neutralize most of these attacks... even if US can destory a lot in Iran, yet bare-hand Iranians who are numbered in tens of millions won't let USA reach its desires...
USA can never do what they did to weaker states like Iraq or Afghanistan... The death and prisonor toll for Americans are going to be tens of times more... They never start a war unless they are assured they can reach their desired plans...
so it is not about which army is more powerful... Whatever Iranian military strength is it won't replace millions of Iranians who are ready to die for Iran defending it... USA can not kill all these tens of millions ... can they?
Another point is that Iran case is very different from previous ones...
Iran knows about possible US attack for decades now.. Iran had the chance to empower itself speciafically for a US invasion... Iranians are majority Shia and very proud patriots... No invader can sustain this force...
Aside from illusions, US commanders know well with what force they will be dealing...
Imagine Iran takes 1000 US prisoner in first weeks.. Imagine Iran asks all its ME and World wings to act... I don't think USA wants this... they only invade when they are sure they can make it to a point to call it a victory...
I personally asked many ordinary Iranians, who mostly are very much against current political system of Iran, what they do if Iran is under attack by USA. All of them with no exception said firmly, they will offer their life to defend their people and home.
Today the war is very different from what we recall...
A simple scenario... Iran produces anti-armor missiles + shoulder missile launchers + precise heavy caliber sniper guns... now imagine tens of thousands of these weapons in hands of tens of millions of Iranians compatriots who are ready to die for their land and people... even if US make it to the point to invade IRan... I doubt they last a month in it... The death toll will rise in a way that US army will have no choice but to leave...
so, there is no doubt that militarily USA is way better equipped than IRan... not only IRan but also other big players...but the case study here is no par to par equipement strength... it is about if a country can sustain and then force the invader out of his country... which Iran most probably do very easily considering its unique aspects...
Iran will use modern assymetric warfare against USA. ... It is always unfair to see a simple shoulder fired missile can destroy a multi-million dollar tank or airplane... see my point?
