how do you see irans military are they strong enough to ba dangerous for their enemies?

Answer 1

Arab/Middle Eastern armies will not hold when attacked with a "traditional" battleplan. They run--not retreat, they run. Now you may think that I'm calling them cowards. There's far more to it than that.

After the army that they lure further into their country decides that they are the victors, drop their guard, and become over-confident, Arabs in small, unrecognizable, civilian-looking groups sheltered by structures housing women and children or in religious areas will attack.

They attack by ambush, bombings are prefered, usually with surprise and from behind when they engage. Any weapon hidden and out of sight of the enemy used in a sniper type action works. Arab groups attrit the invaders numbers down and undermine the occupiers until they will give up out of frustration, worn down pyschologically, and in fear--the definition of terror.

The Bush administration, Pentagon officials, and others don't get this type of warfare. If they are told about it they don't want to acknowledge it. Thinking that you have the best answer when you actually don't understand your enemy's mindset or tactics causes Loss. When you learn and implement counter measures to this type of warfare, you Win.

This is how Iranians or any other Near/Middle Eastern army will "operate." All action is clandestine, no action is overt, in your face.

If you feel like forwarding this to anyone in the Western World who is capable of understanding this concept, be my guest.

Answer 2

Have you ever heard the saying that you don't mess with a mother's babies? Or Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? Well, it doesn't take an educated or strong military to defeat an enemy. What it takes is heart and will and commitment. Remember the song? We've got high hopes, high hopes, high apple pie in the sky hopes. Who would believe an ant can't move a rubber tree plant or a finger won't hold a dyke? Iran has a military. Saddam Hussein did not. Despite this, Saddam Hussein stated and believed that his people would defeat the USA on the ground and he stated that he couldn't compete with our air strikes. He was right in the fact that his people are loyal and they are killing U.S. soldiers in growing numbers. It's my understanding that Iran has some of the best fighter pilots in the world and that they have been busy developing missiles and weapons that would give them the advantage once the U.S. armies are depleted and once our will is crushed. They are chomping at the bit for GWB to attack them so they can stand up and show the world that we are the agressors and prove that point to the Muslim world. Iran has tremendous support from other countries who are not openly supporting it but who are providing funds and weapons and training. Iran was dangerous to the USA years ago. Remember the Iran Contra affair? Do you think there would have been such a hullabaloo if there wasn't a credible "threat"? Remember how they held our people hostage?

All that being said, I believe everyone should arm themselves to their greatest capacity and that would ensure that we are all equally a threat to each other. If one goes off the deep end, it would be mutually assured destruction (MAD) and only a true MADMan would advocate that. And I put GWB in that category.

Answer 3

Wars aren't fought and won only by military means anymore. That's ancient history.

To assess Iran's threat one has to look at their military, political and cultural strengths.

In that context, yes Iran is very dangerous, and has been made more dangerous by the United States in the last 5 years or so.

They understand modern warfare, we don't yet. That's why America wins battles and loses wars.

Answer 4

They could be a major thorn in the side to nations in the region.. and if a military power like Russia or Britain or the US (all hypothetical) were to fight on the ground there it could be very devastating... but that's why these nations would probably just stand back and use their technology and bomb them into submission.... that's where more advanced nations have the advantage with their military

Answer 5

For their ME enemies yes. Their military is modernizing at a very fast aand alarming pace. They still wouldn't be able to satdn up to our military might but they could give us headaches. As for the ME they are a definite power. The only other ME military that comes close to matching them in men and equipment is Israel.

Answer 6

Iran has like 80 F-14 Tomcats given to them by the U.S. while we were still alies but they dont work cuz engineers secretely stole sensative equipment when they suspected Iran may be up to something. But if they fix them then there enamies would be pretty much screwed. Cept for like Isreal, Ameica, Russia, Britain, ect.

Answer 7

If their enemy is a dehydrate squad of lepers, maybe. But I never underestimate the power of the leper.

Answer 8

11 million paramilitary soldiers.

If our military can't secure Baghdad, if they try to take on Iran, then they'll probably be punted back to the US.
