Once the United States and Iraq go to war, according to Iran's current military strength, how much will it cost for the United States to defeat Iran?

Once the United States and Iran go to war, with Iran's current military strength, it may not cost much for the United States to defeat Iran. However, it is one thing for the United States to defeat Iran, and it is another to completely surrender Iran. That is to say, it is easy for the American army to hit Iran's main force hard, especially because Iran does not have a strong naval force. In the Persian Gulf and the waters around the Arabian Sea, American military bases are dotted on it, and it is impossible to run away if you beat Iran like a grass.

But for the United States, the most difficult thing is to completely yield Iran. If Iran does not yield, it will be a long-term confrontation with the United States. Then Americans are dumbfounded. You know, Iran is the leading power in the Middle East, and its comprehensive national strength is very strong. Iran's land area is very large, reaching 1.64 million square kilometers, which has great strategic depth; It also occupies a commanding position on the Iranian plateau, and it is also a overlord's capital in the Middle East. In the 198s, Iran and Iraq fought the Iran-Iraq War for eight years. Iran relied on favorable terrain, but it made it difficult for Iraq to move, and most of the wars took place in Iraq.

In addition, Iran has a population of more than 8 million, and its war potential is enormous. At present, it is known that Iran's conventional army has exceeded 6,, and the reserve forces have mobilized more than 1 million troops; If there is an urgent call from the country, it may not be a problem to recruit another 1 million troops. Iran still has a strong industrial base. Many people think that Iran is a very backward country, just like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, relying solely on oil resources. In fact, Iran has a relatively complete preliminary military industrial system, which can produce many advanced weapons. Once the war starts, its military and industrial power will be fully exerted, and Iran will become a very terrible force by then.

at most, American troops contain Iran at sea, but it is not possible to enter Iranian territory and completely conquer Iran. Iran is really not as vulnerable as Iraq. Iran has been sanctioned by the United States for 4 years, and it has not fallen apart. It can only be said that Iran's Islamic regime is still very stable. It is impossible for the United States to launch and destroy Iran's Islamic regime. If possible, America would have done it long ago. It is precisely because of all kinds of terrible things about Iran that the United States did not attack Iran. It only forced Iran to make political concessions through economic sanctions, but even so, Iran did not let go, which shows that it is still very emboldened.

and the price that the United States wants to completely make Iran yield is too high, which may be the price that the United States can't afford. Think about it. The United States has waged the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for so many years, and its military expenditure and other expenses have exceeded 6 trillion US dollars. Iran is a stronger country than Afghanistan and Iraq combined. How much will the United States spend to conquer Iran? Is it 8 trillion dollars or 1 trillion dollars? With the current strength of the United States, can you get that much money? The total debt of the United States has broken 22 trillion, and it can no longer afford a large-scale war.
