Rarebird,
The bottom line here is that Israel can easily defeat Iran in war
That is a complete fantasy.

Remember how hard it was for us to defeat Iraq? And we had ALL the advantages that you mentioned and more, including:

- Outsized economy
- Divided Iraqi population, most of whom were resentful toward Saddam Insane
- Huge military advantages
- Logistics logistics logistics (which gives the U.S. military the global reach that other militaries cannot match)

As for Israel, as strong as they are in terms of economy and military technology, the fact is that they are still a small nation that is just 11% of the population of Iran. You can cite quality over quantity, but as RuZZia continually proves, quantity is a quality of its own.

Bottom line is that Israel's military is structured and crafted toward defense, not offense. Net-N-Yahoo can't dethrone the Iranian rulers with a three-day sPeCiAl mIlItArY oPeRaTiOn. They'd have to rely on us to do the heavy lifting for them, and NO ONE here wants another Iraq war.

P.S. - Consider the fact that Iran has twice the population of Iraq, and you'll figure out just how much harder it will be to go on another neocon adventure there. We could do it, for sure, but it will cost us dearly. Not even Trump would want that.
