The Challenges of a Military Invasion of Iran.
In this episode, we analyze the challenges of a potential military invasion of Iran. We discuss the country’s formidable geographical defenses, including its mountainous terrain, vast size, and harsh deserts, which make occupation extremely difficult. We also explore Iran’s military capabilities, focusing on its large but technologically inferior armed forces and its reliance on asymmetric warfare strategies, such as missile attacks and proxy groups. Lastly, we examine the potential consequences of a US-Iran war, including the devastating human and geopolitical toll, with millions of casualties and widespread regional instability.
