Binkov's Battlegrounds First, let me thank you so much for the big effort you are attempting to put every video you issue. Second, I wanted to give you a proposal for your next video. In fact, I have given this proposal also in the comments of your last two videos. Fortunately, a lot of people interacted with this suggestion. The proposal is to make a video about a hypothetical war between Egypt and Turkey. Both countries are competing immeasurably a lot; politically, economically, and militarily. Both are competing over political presence in Mideastern countries, such as Libya, Sudan, the Gulf (the Qatari crisis), as well as Syria. In addition to all this, they are competing militarily in the Mediterranean for discoveries of oil and gas fields. Additionally, despite Turkey’s membership in the NATO; however, Egypt’s military power is rivaling the Turkish one. And if we take Turkey’s NATO-membership into consideration, then we should also take Cyprus and Greece, who are also members in the NATO and the European Union 🇪🇺, that have a lot of alliances with Egypt also into consideration. Thank you a lot for your hard work, again.
This comment section is frightening. A bunch of armchair military experts and nationalists from all side spewing ignorant nonsense. The best outcome for everyone is not fight a war.
Iran could use its ballistic missiles to target gulf state cities and oil production infrastructure. It couldn't win a war, but the price of victory could be made so high, it would make victory taste very bitter, especially for gulf state US allies.
Sure, and Iran will burn, their culture and identity destroyed, their cities razed to the ground, their people dead by the millions and they will not receive any help from anybody, due to them attacking the refineries. Iran isn't stupid enough to do that, because refineries can be repaired, but a country that has been bombed to the stone age never will.
@@worldman3218 If the US decides to be warmonger again and go forward with war, Iran has been preparing for decades for this war, they will attack hard and cause irreparable damage. No one will win. Iran is not Iraq. The Persians have dealt with invasions for a long time through their culture, and they are quite well aware of their harsh geography, which USA troops will have an extremely hard time in. Like I said no one will win. Iran does not want this war. Iran has been cooperative while the USA has been the bully and an immature fool breaking international law over and over.
Iran has the perfect terrain to fight a defensive peoples guerilla war. You literally could not ask for better defensive terrain. Wadis, swamp, narrow mountain passes, huge engaged population, long standing plans for repelling just such an invasion, thousands upon thousands of small MANPADS, MANPATS and AShM... The main goal of Iran's military doctrine is to defend the regime and make America's war with Iran as expensive as possible. Iran is going to lose in a full confrontation with the US so it's going to pull an even worse VietCong strategy and make the US waste as much resources as possible. Just look at what hezbollah did to Israel and the Houthis to the Saudis. IEDs,ATGM strikes,daily ambushes, MANPADS shooting down helicopters. Iran would slowly bleed out US forces on the ground. We are talking about 300-500 casualties a day. Not to mention the urban warfare nightmare fighting in Isfahan,Tehran,Mashad,Karaj,Shiraz,Qom,Tabriz. It would make the battle of Fallujah look like sunday morning pick up game. China and Russia could get involved. They would send Iran more manpads,ATGMS, claymore mines etc to aid in the guerilla war effort through the Caspian Sea and Pakistan. Anyone who thinks a US invasion of Iran would be a cake walk is delusional. We are talking about 10-20k US casualties in the first two months of fighting. It would end US primacy and prestige.
There would bo no need to pursue them into that location, once the cities fall, the country falls and almost all of the major cities fall well with range of the US Navy and after the Air Force takes control of the skies, can be bombarded in submission. If the Iraqi military falls back into the mountains, no one cares, because they aren't going to be doing any harm there. The US can implement arial surveilance and when anyone or anything moves, they can drop in Apaches to wipe it out. Anyone that retreats there is going to need supplies, and as soon as they come out of the caves and crevices not only will the people be identified, but so will the location where they are hiding. The US would not have to send a single soldier into that terrain to neautralize them.
Ok, but America will still win, and Iran can't even THINK about touching America's mainland. America's primary will end when someone can successfully invade us FOR ONCE. Nobody can even touch us.
yes, the majority of Iranian people dislike the government but a war like this would unite the people against a common enemy and solidify the governments control just like the war in the 80s against Iraq.
@@ahmadjaber3611 to be honest I don't dislike the government but I do believe that state and religion should be separate and the country needs to free up a little. which in my opinion will happened gradually and eventially
As a Turkish person i believe Turkey and Russia will send military equipment, militia, volunteers, food, medical supplies etc. US can't do that mistake. Even if they gather 1 million soldiers, when Iran call it's people to fight against Americans :D and then it will be the huge nightmare for americans and saudis. Also if you watch the videos of saudi army which tries to invade yemen, you'll see how those idiots movin like :D in a war situation, Turks will support Iran. I'm pretty sure about this.
Burak Yay şu aptal ABDlilere karşı çıkan tek milletler bi biz İranlılar bide siz Türkler, umarım herkes karşı çıkarda şu aptallara bir yerleri kalkmaz, adamlar 200 yıllık bir ülke, milleti bile yok, ama gelip 4000 yıllık İranı yok etmeyi planlıyorlar, artık Tanrı neden böyle şeylere izin veriyorsa
So what’s to say they wouldn’t help support a regime change? Trump has made it clear to Iran that he and the US have no ill will for Iran’s people. Only the government that oppresses them. Those massive protests weren’t for nothing.
I am Canadian, Iran is not a country that anyone looks at with disgust! The Iranian people may hate their own government, but this is not a reason for foreign countries to invade their homeland. Having advanced weapons does not always guarantee you victory. If the United States or Israel start a war with Iran, Persians will end it You are not only fighting an Iranian army, but also 80 million Iranians with love for their homeland So do not underestimate this country I hope the wise people want peace. War is not a good way to show your power
Iraq war was a complete different story because people taught their government was the best and loved them(kinda brain washed) but now with the new generation if you ask any of them they would fight for Iran it's probably a no
In my opinion, as long as this regime is in Iran, peace with the United States is far from expected, but war is not the right way. I hope that one day the Iranian people will achieve what they really deserve 🇨🇦❤🇮🇷
It’s a movie about this, where the US invades and was winning the war and before the US was about to capture Tehran, Russia drops tatical nukes on US forces in Iran, then a nuclear war started.. I forgot the movie name
Basra in the Southern part of Iraq is a strong hold of Shia Muslims. A US invasion launched from Wahhabi Saudi Arabia against the Shia regime in Iran will have difficult time passing Basra on their way to Iran
That's all Iranian controlled area, IRGC Quds Commander, shadow general as he is known, General Qasem Soleimani commands most of southern Iraq. They are all Iranian Shia backed forces.
Exactly. And even an Air Campaign alone won't make the Iranians sit still. They will cross into Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to target the Air Bases, forcing a land war. They know casualties are a factor with the US public. So a ground war is beneficial to them, not to mention China and Russia whom will supply large quantities of light weapons and endless ammo. The entire region will be in flames. Maybe that is the plan.
Didn't retired US Marine General Paul Van Riper beat the US in a war game with a simulated Iranian force? So much fighting about politics and ideologies in the comments, but nothing about battle tactics
@@Ghastly_Grinner You couldn't be more wrong man, just look at the geography alone. Gulf war 1 had the best terrain for a war, it was literally all flat and perfect for US forces, not to mention how Saddam had worse equipment, fewer men, and less training than Iranian forces. Like seriously, good luck having a cake walk when you're trying to push troops through the mountains of Iran.
@@Ghastly_Grinner Iraq was cake walk too, and it cost taxpayers, 7 trillion. how much do you think that Iran cake walk will cost for taxpayers? could you tell me, where's ordinary taxpayers benefit in all these wars?
Lets see Afganistan held us at bay for 20 years and they were basically an unarmed country. Only possessing light arms. Now Iran has the largest most modern military in the region. So what do you like ??
@KingdomofBabylonLost what in 2003? Afghanistan and Iraq were both successfully invaded and occupied with minimal casualties. Stretching that shit out for decades without any clear goal anymore is where it becomes muddled. Trump wanted to grandstand with the Afghanistan withdrawal, but we'd still be there otherwise, just like how we're still in Iraq.
1. Iran has much worse geography for an invasion, it is filled with many mountains and barren deserts, it is more similar to Afghanistan than Iraq 2. Domestic resistance to the Iranian government is very large, however I doubt much of them will be supporting the US in this war as they would be seen more as a foreign invader than liberator. 3. The Iranian government is not in as bad of an economic position as the Iraqi government was before Desert Storm. Yes, you can make the argument that Iran is under heavy sanctions, however Russia and China have come in to fill this economic gap. Iraq's war with Iran was so costly for Iraq that it costed more money than all of the money Iraq had made from the oil industry in the decades preceding it. 4. The US would likely not have a big coalition backing them like they did in '91. The main reason that the Gulf War even happened was because Iraq invaded Kuwait, which angered the international community into forming the coalition. In this situation it is the opposite, it is the US invading a country, and much of the international community would either be neutral or release unbinding condemnations on the USA (with the possible exception of Russia and China, who may supply Iran). In addition, as the USSR was falling apart during the Gulf War, this was the first year in which the USA had a free-hand at doing basically whatever it wanted as it became the sole superpower. As a result, they did crippling bombings of Iraq before the invasion which was so bad Iraq regressed into a temporary stone age and never recovered for the next 12 years. Today, the situation is different, and Russia and China will most likely back Iran, in this multipolar environment the USA would not be able to do these things again or else they would risk facing harsh retaliation. I still do think, despite all these factors, that the US would still win out the war. However, it would be EXTREMELY costly, and once the US takes over, the guerilla war which would follow (in terms of casualties for the US) would be less like Afghanistan and more like Vietnam, possibly higher. Millenium Challenge 2002 already showed that Iran would likely be able to inflict crushing defeats on the US even despite their technological and military inferiority compared to the US.
Long story short: if America wanted to take the gloves off, its military would be more unstoppable than it is in the movies. In other words, if they fought w/ the same morality as its opponents (e.g. Islamofascists or commies), the other side would beg for mercy.
@@jvgace6883 there’s a difference between conventional militaries, that wear uniforms, and are easy to see, and forces like the Vietcong, and the taliban, which are not conventional, against a force like Russia, the us definitely would NOT be unstoppable, but as we have seen with invasions into Iraq in 2003, which was a comparable military to Iran of now, it was completely one sided, and Iraq had no chance of winning
The comments never disappoint here, watching a bunch of 10 year old keyboard warriors with no sense of how warfare even works circlejerking around gotta be more entertaining than Binkovs videos itself.
@@martinjenkins5471 The definition of a terrorist from the point of view of the United States and its allies: Whoever is with us is a hero, whoever is against us is a terrorist. It really was a comprehensive and human rights defender of a terrorist.
@@martinjenkins5471 America started it by supporting Sadamn's invasion of Iran and sanctioning the country from day 1. And Iran does not supp0rt terror1sts. p1ss off.
@@mrhood8073 Do not upset yourself In the American dictionary, someone who opposes usa and their allys is called a terrorist, and someone who is with them is called a hero, like in the Hollywood movie "Green Zone" and "Sniper" American soldiers who invaded another country are portrayed as a hero. They showed a boy defending his family with a Kalashnikov against an invading American soldier as a terrorist.
Iran can also do something that Iraq could not. They have the potential to hit the US directly because of sleeper cells within the USA. While it will not strategically affect the front lines, it could be a useful political tool for Iran as some Americans don't have the stomach for war.
Attacking the US is definitely not in Irans best interest. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 shows that Americans come together after attacks and that war support rises. If Iran's goal is to use the US public's war support against the government then it would think twice about attacking US soil.
@@LewLewVuitton Terrorism is often used when a country is outmatched in a conventional warfare, but its effectiveness is unpredictable. Sometimes it'll just piss the invader's nation off more, the other time it can cause the invader withdraw, or if they haven't invade yet, make them reconsider. It's a dangerous bet, regardless, terrorism can sometimes keep the defender nation's free, but it could also risks retaliation that may lead to more civilians (that insurgents are "supposed" to protect) being killed. But then again, if someone resorted to terrorism, they have no other choice left (the reason why US war with Japan and Vietnam didn't lead to terrorism from those countries because their conventional forces can still hold up).
@@LewLewVuitton Depends on what they target. If they target civilian, ofc it will backfire. But if they attack administration or military facilities, while not being the aggressor (unlike Pearl Harbor), they could get the same effect on the US population than during the Vietnam war.
@@evoluxman9935 The military is very popular with Americans as it has some of the highest favorability ratings out of all institutions. Attacking bases will backfire on Iran also.
@@LewLewVuitton Iran' goal is peace, that's why they signed the JPCOA. If USA attacks however Iran has a culture than praises matyrdom. They are an incredibly proud people. They will never surrender and would prefer death. If USA attacks they will have to be prepared to kill every Iranian
Binkov's comment section is always so full of salt and poorly-written comments. It's just a military strategy video, he always spends time saying he's not taking the reasonability or world consequences of the war he's looking at into account.
Morale is almost impossible to predict, anyone could say "my country is braver," but the thing with human psychology is that it can flip upside down in mere minutes. Binkov do include morale in his analysis, but it's not emphasized upon because of the aforementioned reason. The US, on paper, would win in the war of attrition against Iran due to larger population pool and larger economy, but modern, real-life war have never been fought "to the last man," political, morale, and logistics determined the victors. If your country has an overwhelming numerical advantage, but your enemy is half the world away and you can only send few thousands troops at the time, you lose by logistical failure. If you have all the advantages except for morale and politics, your citizens will eventually think the war is stupid and will resist draft and other supports (like in the game of chess, it doesn't matter if you lose only few pawns but your enemy have only king left, if you knocked your own king piece down, you lose the game).
I believe the Iranians moral would be fairly high, this would likely be due to their very long and natural history. Unlike the rest of the Middle East following World War 1, Iran (persia) was not balkanized like the remnants of the Ottoman empire. The reason Iraq's troops would occasionally surrender without a fight is because they were not of the same ethnicity or religious sect. Iran on the other hand is composed of mostly ethnic Iranians who, for the most part, share the same branch of religion and support for thier secular government. So a prediction of years of bloody and fierce fighting on both sides would be accurate.
Nikolay Mikhayluts Yes the Iranians would be a very tough crowd. Even after the collapse of their government and loss of their military, some ex soldiers or even civilians could take arms and start a guerrilla war against the occupying Americans. This could lead to Iranian freedom fighters and terrorist groups ambushing US forces, terrorist plots, and even launching attacks on American civilians, committing acts comparable to 9/11, leading to a whole new can of worms. Would truly be a shit show if the Americans went to war with Iran. The war itself would be brutal and long, the Iranians have a decent military. After the Americans eventually won over, the occupation and keeping the peace would be hard. Look at Iraq. 16 years after the 2003 invasion and its still a war torn country. Iran would be like that just on a much larger scale, having further repercussions on the wider world.
Russia and China have not been considered in your hypothesis and the fact that any gulf state would surely be targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles. I would be very surprised if Russian advisers have not been in Iran preparing Iranian troops for years.
@@michaelpetrovich5353 I don't believe America will attack Iran unless they get the full backing of NATO. Russia will give Iran all the weapons it needs to defend itself. American government will need public opinion to be on their side as well. Vietnam ended because Americans lost the will to continue. Afghanistan would definitely go the same way if American troops come home in body bags in the same way. Iran would be tougher than Afghanistan because their population would be as the population of Vietnam determined to protect their homes. With that kind of will, America can not win. America can defeat armies, but not peoples minds.
I also think that this analysis misses the major point that Kuwait is largely dependent on the Gulf for its oil exports which Iran’s fleet of speed boats and mini subs could easily blockade. Maybe only for a few weeks but that would no doubt hurt Kuwait’s economy.
America cant attack to iran because it will be so expensive for them in this economy situation . I think world war 3 will start in taiwan .the persian empire Guaranteed by the alliance of China and Russia. And we are witnessing the transfer of power from the West to the East, and the mafia that emerged after World War II will be destroyed .America will disintegrate in a few years and the glue of federalism will disappear .If the Americans reach Iran, Iran will have access to American territory through Venezuela, and the world has seen how incapable of American missiles defense against Iranian missiles. Hollywood is not real media is not real .what do guys think ha?Two hundred or three hundred years America whose ancestors took over the land through the genocide of Native Americans and slavery ،Countries that are colonial in nature. These artificial countries They are not as big as a country like Iran, which after ten thousand years of history and thousands of years of unwritten history, and the first empire of the world and the first builder of modern civilization and a country that overthrew the slaveholders and savagery under the command of Cyrus the Great He freed the Jews from the shackles of their rulers, a country that has so much pride and culture and its name is rememberd good in history . It is the only country that has the ability to implement world peace i mean real peace

@Natural Healing Methods I live in Iran dude 🤭no one can teach me what happened 🤫... Iraq lost so much lands to Iran 😉we conquered many lands in there... Ur information is what western media teaches u 😂western information are all lie and they keeps u a fool... Good for u
Binkow should have compared to Afganisthan. Moutains all over the country and NATO simply cannot win against a 20 million people country. Forget about Iran at 83.
The Vietnam war was just a police action war the USA never declared war on Vietnam. It was just a battle in the cold war against the USSR, a battle that the USA lost A-war that it won.
Interesting, but I wonder why you include US regional allies but not Iran's regional allies? I guess because this analysis of war relies heavily on technology.
What regional allies? Syria is in ruins and won't play a part, Hezballa in Lebanon is completly dependant on Iran and does not have the ability to assist in such war, Russia and China might support it with equipment and maybe try slow down the economic decline, but both would never engage in direct war with the US.
It be a combination of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with more people with more experience with better weapons and a huge system of heavily armed and heavily supplied of underground bunkers. Not to mention Iran’s geography provides the country with natural choke points making the country a giant meat grinder for American soldiers

As a service man… this is terrifying. Knowing how incompetent our modern officers are I can tell you we will see massive casualties and thousands of troops surrendering.
One factor you may not be considering. If Iran has already built a nuclear weapon all it takes is a group of Russian, Chinese or Pakistani scientists to show them how to miniaturize it into battlefield nuclear weapons (i.e. nuclear torpedoes, nuclear artillery). If they have figured that out, US casualties will multiply.
@@leosch6706 Iran keeps everything they do a secret. Its impossible to tell if they have or how many they would have. Imagine if they only had, say, a dozen. 12 small nuclear blasts against the United states military is nothing to take lightly. Not to mention, the radioactivity it would cause in the air.
Ava Fury Escalation calls for escalation. You use a tactical nuclear weapons on the US the US will probably use one on you. And before claiming that the US using nukes would cause a reaction from the Russians or the Chinese they will deliver via bomber not missiles to avoid misinterpretation. It would not be a reasonable approach by the iranians. Less they go into a “TOTALENKRIEG” type of mentality in that case is free game and tons of deads, mostly Iranians.
Even with 30% being fit, that's more than 8 million that you would need. The US doesn't need to occupy anything. Occupation is totally optional. The strength of the US is the ability to win in offensive campaigns. Sitting around in an occupation is a recipe for insurgency. Simply razing the country to the stone age would secure the US's strategic goals without the need to provide Iranians fairly stationary targets. I think the US has learned that lesson.
I may think that Iran is a very disagreeable regime, I will say, I’m kinda glad we aren’t fighting them, because If we were we would have to destroy the last remaining F-14 tomcats in existence, and those things are a treasure
I was a scout in Desert Storm. The Army held educational classes to teach us about the history and culture differences in the middle east to help us understand the political views, how history molded the current middle east, and why they don't want western cultures there. I remember when the US embassy in Iran was taken for a full year during the Carter Administration, and the US embassy in Beirut was bombed, as well as the year prior to 9/11, among many other incidents. Throughout the last 1500 years the middle eastern countries have made a very clear message, and repeated it clearly and consistently: They do not want their culture influenced by the west, they are willing to partake in trade and allow tourism, but no occupation by any foreigners.
Good point but I am pretty sure middle east has been around for 10000 years. I think it's not a west vs east thing, don't make it that. Its just that no one likes foreign invasions. If Saudi Arabia or Iran let's say occupied your country you wouldn't be so happy about it either. I hope.
10:00 For the morale question, there is absolutely no doubt that the iranians would be completely enbolded, and all the sayings and warnings of the current islamic government would come true, mixed with the hatred of america and all the acts it committed against iran.. Yeah, morale would be SKY-HIGH, iran would be seen as the defender of islam, the waving flag of the world against american imperialism, it would also definitely get volunteers.. No doubts about that, the war would drag on until the total defeat of america in iran, and the american dominance of world affair would seriously be doubted/lost also you forgot about israel
It's not like this, As an Iranian I have to say something around 95% of the civilians don't like this government, I wouldn't be surprised if the people start helping American troops. plus, nobody hates America at least as far as I'm seeing in the society. What you see about people in Iran is just propaganda, they are bunch of extremists payed by the government to be in iconic protests against United states.
@@arminasaei3448 so you'd prefer a government like the shah's that would sell out the national resources to foreign companies? didnt you fell any slight joy when the talibans defeated america? how come iranians would help america over their regime, america is the one making iran's existence difficult..
Just do with Iran what the US did with Japan after ww2 turn it into an American ally and economic powerhouse. Note that if you think that Iranians would not give in to American influence, remember how much japan hated the US originally, I mean they got nuked by them, twice. In a gen or two I can see a Persian version of Japan, economically thriving and a strong US ally

Second, I wanted to give you a proposal for your next video. In fact, I have given this proposal also in the comments of your last two videos. Fortunately, a lot of people interacted with this suggestion. The proposal is to make a video about a hypothetical war between Egypt and Turkey.

Both are competing over political presence in Mideastern countries, such as Libya, Sudan, the Gulf (the Qatari crisis), as well as Syria. In addition to all this, they are competing militarily in the Mediterranean for discoveries of oil and gas fields. Additionally, despite Turkey’s membership in the NATO; however, Egypt’s military power is rivaling the Turkish one. And if we take Turkey’s NATO-membership into consideration, then we should also take Cyprus and Greece, who are also members in the NATO and the European Union 🇪🇺, that have a lot of alliances with Egypt also into consideration.

yes, the majority of Iranian people dislike the government but a war like this would unite the people against a common enemy and solidify the governments control just like the war in the 80s against Iraq.
Do you dislike the government or having a supreme leader or what is it exactly?
@@ahmadjaber3611 to be honest I don't dislike the government but I do believe that state and religion should be separate and the country needs to free up a little. which in my opinion will happened gradually and eventially
As a Turkish person i believe Turkey and Russia will send military equipment, militia, volunteers, food, medical supplies etc. US can't do that mistake. Even if they gather 1 million soldiers, when Iran call it's people to fight against Americans :D and then it will be the huge nightmare for americans and saudis. Also if you watch the videos of saudi army which tries to invade yemen, you'll see how those idiots movin like :D in a war situation, Turks will support Iran. I'm pretty sure about this.

So what’s to say they wouldn’t help support a regime change? Trump has made it clear to Iran that he and the US have no ill will for Iran’s people. Only the government that oppresses them. Those massive protests weren’t for nothing.
I am Canadian, Iran is not a country that anyone looks at with disgust! The Iranian people may hate their own government, but this is not a reason for foreign countries to invade their homeland. Having advanced weapons does not always guarantee you victory.
If the United States or Israel start a war with Iran, Persians will end it
You are not only fighting an Iranian army, but also 80 million Iranians with love for their homeland So do not underestimate this country
I hope the wise people want peace. War is not a good way to show your power
Iraq war was a complete different story because people taught their government was the best and loved them(kinda brain washed) but now with the new generation if you ask any of them they would fight for Iran it's probably a no
In my opinion, as long as this regime is in Iran, peace with the United States is far from expected, but war is not the right way. I hope that one day the Iranian people will achieve what they really deserve

So many warhawks who will never get out of their air-conditioned rooms when this war will be annihilating innocents in both sides.
Basra in the Southern part of Iraq is a strong hold of Shia Muslims. A US invasion launched from Wahhabi Saudi Arabia against the Shia regime in Iran will have difficult time passing Basra on their way to Iran
That's all Iranian controlled area, IRGC Quds Commander, shadow general as he is known, General Qasem Soleimani commands most of southern Iraq. They are all Iranian Shia backed forces.
Exactly. And even an Air Campaign alone won't make the Iranians sit still. They will cross into Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to target the Air Bases, forcing a land war. They know casualties are a factor with the US public. So a ground war is beneficial to them, not to mention China and Russia whom will supply large quantities of light weapons and endless ammo. The entire region will be in flames. Maybe that is the plan.

@@thecrow618 could also happen, if public support drops
@KingdomofBabylonLost what in 2003? Afghanistan and Iraq were both successfully invaded and occupied with minimal casualties. Stretching that shit out for decades without any clear goal anymore is where it becomes muddled. Trump wanted to grandstand with the Afghanistan withdrawal, but we'd still be there otherwise, just like how we're still in Iraq.
1. Iran has much worse geography for an invasion, it is filled with many mountains and barren deserts, it is more similar to Afghanistan than Iraq
2. Domestic resistance to the Iranian government is very large, however I doubt much of them will be supporting the US in this war as they would be seen more as a foreign invader than liberator.
3. The Iranian government is not in as bad of an economic position as the Iraqi government was before Desert Storm. Yes, you can make the argument that Iran is under heavy sanctions, however Russia and China have come in to fill this economic gap. Iraq's war with Iran was so costly for Iraq that it costed more money than all of the money Iraq had made from the oil industry in the decades preceding it.
4. The US would likely not have a big coalition backing them like they did in '91. The main reason that the Gulf War even happened was because Iraq invaded Kuwait, which angered the international community into forming the coalition. In this situation it is the opposite, it is the US invading a country, and much of the international community would either be neutral or release unbinding condemnations on the USA (with the possible exception of Russia and China, who may supply Iran). In addition, as the USSR was falling apart during the Gulf War, this was the first year in which the USA had a free-hand at doing basically whatever it wanted as it became the sole superpower. As a result, they did crippling bombings of Iraq before the invasion which was so bad Iraq regressed into a temporary stone age and never recovered for the next 12 years. Today, the situation is different, and Russia and China will most likely back Iran, in this multipolar environment the USA would not be able to do these things again or else they would risk facing harsh retaliation.
I still do think, despite all these factors, that the US would still win out the war. However, it would be EXTREMELY costly, and once the US takes over, the guerilla war which would follow (in terms of casualties for the US) would be less like Afghanistan and more like Vietnam, possibly higher. Millenium Challenge 2002 already showed that Iran would likely be able to inflict crushing defeats on the US even despite their technological and military inferiority compared to the US.

Iran can also do something that Iraq could not. They have the potential to hit the US directly because of sleeper cells within the USA. While it will not strategically affect the front lines, it could be a useful political tool for Iran as some Americans don't have the stomach for war.
Attacking the US is definitely not in Irans best interest. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 shows that Americans come together after attacks and that war support rises. If Iran's goal is to use the US public's war support against the government then it would think twice about attacking US soil.
@@LewLewVuitton
Terrorism is often used when a country is outmatched in a conventional warfare, but its effectiveness is unpredictable. Sometimes it'll just piss the invader's nation off more, the other time it can cause the invader withdraw, or if they haven't invade yet, make them reconsider. It's a dangerous bet, regardless, terrorism can sometimes keep the defender nation's free, but it could also risks retaliation that may lead to more civilians (that insurgents are "supposed" to protect) being killed. But then again, if someone resorted to terrorism, they have no other choice left (the reason why US war with Japan and Vietnam didn't lead to terrorism from those countries because their conventional forces can still hold up).
@@LewLewVuitton Depends on what they target. If they target civilian, ofc it will backfire. But if they attack administration or military facilities, while not being the aggressor (unlike Pearl Harbor), they could get the same effect on the US population than during the Vietnam war.

Here watching this before WW3
Binkov's comment section is always so full of salt and poorly-written comments. It's just a military strategy video, he always spends time saying he's not taking the reasonability or world consequences of the war he's looking at into account.
Morale is almost impossible to predict, anyone could say "my country is braver," but the thing with human psychology is that it can flip upside down in mere minutes. Binkov do include morale in his analysis, but it's not emphasized upon because of the aforementioned reason. The US, on paper, would win in the war of attrition against Iran due to larger population pool and larger economy, but modern, real-life war have never been fought "to the last man," political, morale, and logistics determined the victors. If your country has an overwhelming numerical advantage, but your enemy is half the world away and you can only send few thousands troops at the time, you lose by logistical failure. If you have all the advantages except for morale and politics, your citizens will eventually think the war is stupid and will resist draft and other supports (like in the game of chess, it doesn't matter if you lose only few pawns but your enemy have only king left, if you knocked your own king piece down, you lose the game).

@@gamingrex2930lol Jewish leadership is worse than any terror organisation in the world combined
I believe the Iranians moral would be fairly high, this would likely be due to their very long and natural history. Unlike the rest of the Middle East following World War 1, Iran (persia) was not balkanized like the remnants of the Ottoman empire. The reason Iraq's troops would occasionally surrender without a fight is because they were not of the same ethnicity or religious sect.
Iran on the other hand is composed of mostly ethnic Iranians who, for the most part, share the same branch of religion and support for thier secular government. So a prediction of years of bloody and fierce fighting on both sides would be accurate.
Nikolay Mikhayluts Yes the Iranians would be a very tough crowd.
Even after the collapse of their government and loss of their military, some ex soldiers or even civilians could take arms and start a guerrilla war against the occupying Americans. This could lead to Iranian freedom fighters and terrorist groups ambushing US forces, terrorist plots, and even launching attacks on American civilians, committing acts comparable to 9/11, leading to a whole new can of worms.
Would truly be a shit show if the Americans went to war with Iran. The war itself would be brutal and long, the Iranians have a decent military. After the Americans eventually won over, the occupation and keeping the peace would be hard. Look at Iraq. 16 years after the 2003 invasion and its still a war torn country. Iran would be like that just on a much larger scale, having further repercussions on the wider world.

@@michaelpetrovich5353 I don't believe America will attack Iran unless they get the full backing of NATO. Russia will give Iran all the weapons it needs to defend itself. American government will need public opinion to be on their side as well. Vietnam ended because Americans lost the will to continue. Afghanistan would definitely go the same way if American troops come home in body bags in the same way. Iran would be tougher than Afghanistan because their population would be as the population of Vietnam determined to protect their homes. With that kind of will, America can not win. America can defeat armies, but not peoples minds.
@StrategicFooyoo And China is big enough to do that. I will bet that America won't stop Chinese ship picking up oil in Iran.
I also think that this analysis misses the major point that Kuwait is largely dependent on the Gulf for its oil exports which Iran’s fleet of speed boats and mini subs could easily blockade. Maybe only for a few weeks but that would no doubt hurt Kuwait’s economy.

Throughout the last 1500 years the middle eastern countries have made a very clear message, and repeated it clearly and consistently: They do not want their culture influenced by the west, they are willing to partake in trade and allow tourism, but no occupation by any foreigners.
Can't say they're wrong. They just want to be left alone. Of course they're not innocent though...but still they just want to chillax at their desert.
Good point but I am pretty sure middle east has been around for 10000 years.
I think it's not a west vs east thing, don't make it that. Its just that no one likes foreign invasions.
If Saudi Arabia or Iran let's say occupied your country you wouldn't be so happy about it either. I hope.
Besteirol Nerd yeah till they move to your country and setup no go zones and say they are only under shariah law.

Ok , I changed my mind, no Iranian war
Good, now Biden and his puppeteers have to agree.
Shit man, here we go again.

This video has aged well
But you're comment didn't.
10:00 For the morale question, there is absolutely no doubt that the iranians would be completely enbolded, and all the sayings and warnings of the current islamic government would come true, mixed with the hatred of america and all the acts it committed against iran.. Yeah, morale would be SKY-HIGH, iran would be seen as the defender of islam, the waving flag of the world against american imperialism, it would also definitely get volunteers.. No doubts about that, the war would drag on until the total defeat of america in iran, and the american dominance of world affair would seriously be doubted/lost
also you forgot about israel
It's not like this, As an Iranian I have to say something around 95% of the civilians don't like this government, I wouldn't be surprised if the people start helping American troops. plus, nobody hates America at least as far as I'm seeing in the society. What you see about people in Iran is just propaganda, they are bunch of extremists payed by the government to be in iconic protests against United states.
@@arminasaei3448 so you'd prefer a government like the shah's that would sell out the national resources to foreign companies?
didnt you fell any slight joy when the talibans defeated america? how come iranians would help america over their regime, america is the one making iran's existence difficult..
This video is once again relevant
AH SHIT, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
This is now looking probable
This is suddenly more relevant these days
You guys should do:
*area 51 VS 500000 weebs*
Slavic hardbass Argentinia is pretty nice i guess, but i can’t wait for the return!
500,000 drones converging on area 51..theyed need 10,000 mini guns around the whole base and it will be over in 20 mins..
What are you doing in the comments? Trust me; scroll back up.
you're right... im sorry.. thank you sir
Appreciate the advice
I wish I would have seen this comment sooner lmao.
This hypothetical is now real. Even if America wins militarily there is no way occupation of Iran would not be easy
Jimmy Owens No need to occupy Iran. Just blast them into a smoking hole from the air and let the regime collapse into Revolution.
Just do with Iran what the US did with Japan after ww2 turn it into an American ally and economic powerhouse. Note that if you think that Iranians would not give in to American influence, remember how much japan hated the US originally, I mean they got nuked by them, twice. In a gen or two I can see a Persian version of Japan, economically thriving and a strong US ally
@@hitube1272 Or even better, sent troops to Australia to aid them with their fire
@@chandlerwhite8302 As long as it doesn't affect you; you could care less about others suffering
Lol US will never occupy Iran. It would be just Trump sending a message and oil lol
