Which countries you are talking about , the country is 100,000 square km larger than IranLibya is a small country & really how many loyal soldiers did Gaddafi have on his side ? They had outdated weapons, no air defenses, no missiles, etc. Iran's military doctrine is based on defense. Iranian soldiers are well armed with brand new, cutting edge defensive weapons, MANPADS, ATGMs, sniper rifles with armor piercing rounds. Iran's military is well trained & well versed in guerilla & asymmetrical warfare tactics. The Basij alone number in the millions. Invading Iran, especially a ground invasion would be a suicide mission. Iran has a rugged & mountainous terrain which would make it a nightmare for any invaders.
Iran needs a free market economy & a government run by young technocrats.
Iran's foreign policy is the problem. supporting Hezbollah is one thing but supporting Hamas is foolish because during the Iran-Iraq war they supported Saddam, so did the Palestinians. Average Iranians shouldn't suffer for the sake of people that don't give a rats @ss about them.
Libyan Army was completely loyal to Qaddafi , and who says Iran conscript and regulars are equipped with modern weapons ?
our conscripts training is so shitty that they can't hit targets as big as Bus Wheel from 50m away , and they don't knew whats is Ammo economy , they'll just ran out of Ammo in first 3 second of any clash .
I bet 90% of bases in hand of basij never cleaned and oiled their guns in last two month (I clearly recall in Sistan and Baluchistan in one visit to one of theses bases our commander wanted to operate a DShKM and it jammed , he dismantle it and removed about 1kg of sand from inside it and then showed us how the lack of maintenance destroyed the Gun) you think how many percent of our conscript knew how to operate a mortar or even RPG correctly if the need arises ?
and no Iran army is not well trained only some branches of Iran Army are well trained .
