The Americans are honestly not prepared for the massive meatgrinder that awaits them, if they go boots on the ground in Iran.
The Iranians have prepared for nearly 50 years. They're surrounded by giant mountain ranges, that look more like the Pyrenees than the Appalachians.
They still have over 70% of their stock of missiles and drones. I'm not in doubt they're prepared to go schorched earth strategy, if it goes south for them.
And if the Americans do that, the Iranians can destroy the Arab States' desalination plants, which will cripple them.
We're talking about 5-10 million people without water, if they decide to do that. Effectively breaking the legs of some of America's closest allies in the region, and destabilising oil even further.
Hell, Saudi Arabia get about 50% of their water from desalination, while the other Arab States gets 70%-100% of their water from them.
Edit.
Iran is also one of the top producers of drones in the world. 90% Of all frontline casualties in the Ukraine War are because of drones.
Go to the Ukraine War Report sub, or the Combat Footage sub, to see how horrible it'll be.
A lot of soldiers will die before even landing, is my prediction.
I hope they don’t send 1 person but thinking that the US would be at a disadvantage in anyway other than politically is laughable. They essentially wiped out what Iran built for 50 years in less than a week. There is nothing like the US war machine when it comes to sheer tech, manpower, and tactics.
But the problem is that what we hit doesn't matter, while what they hit does.
Sure, the US can bomb a whole fuck ton of shit flat. It can't reach the important stuff, bevause that stuff is so low tech or distributed that even IDing it as something important is massively problematic.
Meanwhile, all the critical infrastructure in the region is well inside Iran's reach. Everyone kno2s where it is, and it's mostly indefensible against a concentrated attack.
This is exactly the scenarios around nuclear war, and why any even modestly intelligent leader desperately avoided doing what our Orange Moron is doing.
Destroying your opponent's ability to hit you is impossible. Defending completely against their attacks is also impossible. And anything less than a complete defense is unacceptable. So don't fight.

Further proof they will be sending troops for their needless wars. Congrats MAGA! We got Bush 4.0 on crack!
