You guys are just insane if you think Iran would have any chance against the US. Do you guys not remember during the first golf war, Iraq had one of the largest militaries in the world and it was destroyed no problem by the US forces. Not only did they destroy the military, the Iraqi forces where to scared to even get in their planes to fight the US because they were getting blown out of the sky the second they would take off. The US would not even need to place troops in Iran, they would be dropping 100k bombs on this country during an opening attack. The country would be nothing.

It is a surprise that Iran is still around right now, they have caused so many problems with the war in Iraq. They have kidnapped British soldiers, they have supplied weapons to insurgents and provide traning fro fighters going to attack US bases in Iraq. Not only that they have came within short distances of US boats in the Mideast waters. The order to kill the boats was given just seconds after the boats left the waters.

Iran is also causing problems with Israel, saying that the holocaust never happened and threatening to wipe every Jewish person from the face of the planet.

Israel has also been forced to protect herself from these enemies and each time they have destroyed the military of these foreign nations. Also due to these middle east countries attacking Israel they have almost started a third WW. When they go crying to the USSR back in the day, because Israel beat the shit out of them.

 

Actually they didn't kidnap british soldiers. They got arrested for entering Iran without permission. Iran is not Iraq, as stated earlier. Differences are that Iran is bigger, it has more motivated army, everybody knew what weaponery Iraq had. Nobody really knows what Iran has, but it's definately more heavy than what Iraq had. You're right about that one, that if US would attack, it would do it by air, but after that war, i wouldn't expect gulf of Persia having US troops anymore. USA wouldn't be getting international support, and Israel isn't necessarily in a situation it could really start attacking, since Iran isn't the only neigbouring country that wants the jews out of middle-east. After all, the thing why Iran is in the axis of evil, is because they wanted to trade oil in Euros. Like Iraq.

 The british soldiers never entered Iran, they were in international waters when they were attacked by the Iranian army or whatever its called.  Iraq also had a very motivated army during the first gulf war, but when you are in your tank and all of a sudden the tanks beside you start to blow up and you have no idea what did it, you start to lose your will to fight. 

Also the attack on baghdad during the first gulf war was a great example of the military power that the US would bring down on Iran, this city had more SAM sites and AA guns then any location in the entire Veitnam war and the US was able to have bombers overhead and they were not being fired on until  buildings started to blow up, then the Iraqi's started to fire blindly into the air.  The US airforce is 100x stronger then what they were 17years ago.  US bombers could go undected across Iran and drop 80 GPS guilded missiles each.
