Iran’s naval capacity is scary. They are almost at par with the USA. With their powerful submarines, they may prevent US from deploying the aircraft carrier for the war. Without the aircraft carriers, America’s air capacity will be seriously reduced. This is one war that won’t end well for both countries.

Except the US doesn't need the navy to decimate Iran

The most important fact is the air troops

Lol and do you know how much is allocated to the navy in the US, what scary about the iran navy or are you thinking about the revolutionary Army with what they did to UK tanker? Do you want to compare USA warships to Iran or their advanced technology? EVen Iran wouldn't want to go to war with USA while risking millions of lives of their citizen cos am sure USA will bring the war to Iran soil like they did in japan

Direct comparison like this is stupid.
That's why countries have allies...
Iran may be underestimated now but believe me, there are hidden backers that would bare their fangs when the chips are down.
Do you think it's every ally who stands with USA now that would still support the country in the long run?
The USA foreign policy is too aggressive, some countries are asking themselves, after Iran who is next?
This is one ugly situation that we don't want to happen.
The world is bleeped up as it is.
I just hope Africans borrow sense and not align with neither side.
Africa can position themselves to gain more from this conflict if they remain neutral

It is not always as easy as you guys try to make it appear. Apart from the rhetorics from both sides, nobody really wants the war. Iran is not Iraq where US met a divided country and bribed the other side not to fight.

The war in Afghanistan is still ongoing without a winner till today. Iran is a very populous country with sophisticated military weapons and a large mountainous terrain. Post WW2 US has never fought a country with submarines before so this will be a different kettle of fish. The Iranians submarines will disturb or even take out the US aircraft carriers and that’s the end of America’s air power.

I’m not saying Iran can defeat America, I’m only saying it will be a bloody and protracted war that will not end well for both countries.

Not likely, Iranian weapon systems are mediocre when compared to the US more modern systems

My fear is it could spiral beyound iran vs usa, dont forget iran has many proxies fighters plus russia and china have already blamed usa for usa not respecting iraq territory cum assasinating an iran general.

The same china and russia have a mutual fued with usa while been pro iran everytime (china/russisa combined can outdo usa)

Iraq the scene of crime is voicing support for iran/condemning usa.

North korea is going unabated in its will to prove usa a point.

Trump has had issues with all usa allies in europe including canada who have condemed this usa act while blaming usa for quitting the nuclear deal and escalating tension.

Nato is just same usa in summary, same nato couldnt stop russia from annexing its member state territory in ukraine.

United nations condemns this recent usa act.

The only reliable ally usa has is israel, Trump moves have been drawing sympathy more to iran in the global community than he thinks.

In conclusion while usa would win iran in a war based on the military budget on ground, (usa has never conqured them since history) the war may spiral beyound just fighting iran to a multi facet one coming from proxies with radical idealogies willing to die for vegance.

Can usa manage the intensity coming from various angles all at once without its allies that usually would back them up cum adventurous global rivals who have been waiting for its most vulnurable time to hit it.


This is my worry even though am pro usa

As much as I hate to say this, Iran Should eat the humble pie and avoid a direct confrontation with the US because she doesn't stand a chance. they can both bark and bark not to look weak but when all is said and done, nothing will happen.

Mediocre? Oh man. My people are ignorant.
Please will you say Russian tech is mediocre? Iran is an extension of Russian military tech.
Yes, US is stronger than Iran, its undisputed but other factors come into play in this situation. The question is who is with who? China and Russia are a common match for USA.

Keep talking rubbish, when America entered Afghanistan and Iraq and bombed the shit out of them, where were their so called allies? No country spends the amount that USA spend in defence. Nigeria budget for 3 years cannot equate what America spend in defence alone in one year. We are waiting for them to retaliate so that America will send their beautiful missile to them.
