So why the US did not attack Iran, if it was that weak ? Please enlighten us.
And, your comment for the reason why Israel did not attack Iran is, the least to say, a false statement, since it is a very known fact that Israel seeks to destabilize the region day and night, but it was stopped in its tracks by the Iranian military might and others.
Further more, an attack on Iran by anyone, including the US will have unbearable consequences not solely for the attacking wannabes but for other countries far beyond the region, and unsustainable losses due to the massive, linked and coordinated Iranian air defense systems with early warning radars. The Iranian fighter jets will do the cleanup of what remains of the attacking warplanes. and retaliate instantaneously be it on the US warships, bases or on Israel itself, making it suffer the heaviest and most unsustainable losses in its fake history. These are the facts that held the US and Israel from attacking Iran.
This holds for everyone else in the region and beyond, so, as far as Pakistan and Iran are concerned, their armies are not made to fight each other, rather they are most complementary in the region, hence one should add both military mights and see the exponential effect.
Ok, wow. I am surprised at the lack of reality you have. Let's correct what's mistaken in the above post. Let me ask you, I am sure you are a smart guy, do you REALLY think that Iran has or had or will in the next 10 years have enough force to even consider a direct confrontation with the Israelis and / or the Americans? I want you to read my statement three times and respond back with honesty. I am sure you have some. Blind patriotism causes a LOT of misconceptions and your post is a prime example.
You honestly think that the US and the Israel didn't attack Iran because of her so called military power and air defense? If the US Navy and the military wanted to, based on the recent history in your neighborhood, I think they'd achieve a No Fly Zone over Iran within the first 24 hours of initiating combat. Will there be a risk of casualties due to your air defense? Sure, some, not many due to the fact that know what to take out, when, how, etc. Most of your air defense is based on Russian technologies and TRUST me (or take a look at Iraq for example), we know how to turn them radars into rubble in no time.
The reason why Iran didn't get attacked was due to your neighbors. Yes, the Saudis, the UAE, etc, etc plus the Straight of Hormuz. These guys didn't want to engage in another war that would be lengthier and on their doorsteps and will impact the trade for a while as ships will be threatened. Now if risking civilian cargo ships is all you've got to showcase your midget submarines and little air force...than that's VERY brave of you. Keep scaring civilian ships as a bargaining chip. Very force projecting it sure is.
The US and Israel from a strategic standpoint wouldn't have any objective to really land attack Iran. That wouldn't serve the purpose. But they'd carpet bomb your military installations and be done. Anything beyond that from Iran would mean eliminating its air defense and the air force to rubble and whatever comes in the way.
That would be their objectives if I was creating an attack strategy on Iran. But the real issue would be when Iran goes nuts and attacks the Saudis and the UAE's (the Sunni area around her) and civilian ships from India, or China or Africa or from Europe. That's what stopped us.
Last but not least. Iranian fighter jets would RARELY be able to see a US plane in flight. Majority of these obsolete jets will become vapor-ware while parked along with their air defense radars. That's almost guaranteed as that's the first strategic object in today's warfare.
Recently, there was an event that was published in military reports. Two Iranian jets came WVR to a Global Hawk on a recon mission. Before they could fire a shot, an F-22 literally pulled up on their left wing from underneath (after flying directly underneath them for many miles and undetected. The pilot was checking out their weapons loads to see the new replica missile they were showcasing).
As the pilot pulled up on their left wing, he radioed them "you really ought to go home".... were the words echoed. That was it. The planes disengaged otherwise their airframes would probably disintegrate in the midair.
Rest assured, there will not be any "grave" consequences to this. You are allowed to keep running the fantasy mill. Just don't try to convert this into a reality as the truth is painful to feel, see and swallow at times.
