Iran’s Air Force was neutralized in the Iran/Iraq war in the 1980’s. Their Navy was neutralized in the late 80’s.

The ONLY tools they have/had were missiles.

Iran is a large mountainous country. No one is going to “invade” them. They only needed to focus on their antiaircraft defense. You would think they would have spent just a bit more on that. Having it wiped out six months ago…and still not have it back up and running is just pathetic.
