Binkov's Battlegrounds First, let me thank you so much for the big effort you are attempting to put every video you issue. Second, I wanted to give you a proposal for your next video. In fact, I have given this proposal also in the comments of your last two videos. Fortunately, a lot of people interacted with this suggestion. The proposal is to make a video about a hypothetical war between Egypt and Turkey. Both countries are competing immeasurably a lot; politically, economically, and militarily. Both are competing over political presence in Mideastern countries, such as Libya, Sudan, the Gulf (the Qatari crisis), as well as Syria. In addition to all this, they are competing militarily in the Mediterranean for discoveries of oil and gas fields. Additionally, despite Turkey’s membership in the NATO; however, Egypt’s military power is rivaling the Turkish one. And if we take Turkey’s NATO-membership into consideration, then we should also take Cyprus and Greece, who are also members in the NATO and the European Union 🇪🇺, that have a lot of alliances with Egypt also into consideration. Thank you a lot for your hard work, again.

Iran has the perfect terrain to fight a defensive peoples guerilla war. You literally could not ask for better defensive terrain. Wadis, swamp, narrow mountain passes, huge engaged population, long standing plans for repelling just such an invasion, thousands upon thousands of small MANPADS, MANPATS and AShM... The main goal of Iran's military doctrine is to defend the regime and make America's war with Iran as expensive as possible. Iran is going to lose in a full confrontation with the US so it's going to pull an even worse VietCong strategy and make the US waste as much resources as possible. Just look at what hezbollah did to Israel and the Houthis to the Saudis. IEDs,ATGM strikes,daily ambushes, MANPADS shooting down helicopters. Iran would slowly bleed out US forces on the ground. We are talking about 300-500 casualties a day. Not to mention the urban warfare nightmare fighting in Isfahan,Tehran,Mashad,Karaj,Shiraz,Qom,Tabriz. It would make the battle of Fallujah look like sunday morning pick up game. China and Russia could get involved. They would send Iran more manpads,ATGMS, claymore mines etc to aid in the guerilla war effort through the Caspian Sea and Pakistan. Anyone who thinks a US invasion of Iran would be a cake walk is delusional. We are talking about 10-20k US casualties in the first two months of fighting. It would end US primacy and prestige.

There would bo no need to pursue them into that location, once the cities fall, the country falls and almost all of the major cities fall well with range of the US Navy and after the Air Force takes control of the skies, can be bombarded in submission. If the Iraqi military falls back into the mountains, no one cares, because they aren't going to be doing any harm there. The US can implement arial surveilance and when anyone or anything moves, they can drop in Apaches to wipe it out. Anyone that retreats there is going to need supplies, and as soon as they come out of the caves and crevices not only will the people be identified, but so will the location where they are hiding. The US would not have to send a single soldier into that terrain to neautralize them.

​​@KingdomofBabylonLost what in 2003? Afghanistan and Iraq were both successfully invaded and occupied with minimal casualties. Stretching that shit out for decades without any clear goal anymore is where it becomes muddled. Trump wanted to grandstand with the Afghanistan withdrawal, but we'd still be there otherwise, just like how we're still in Iraq.

[@pavan923]

1. Iran has much worse geography for an invasion, it is filled with many mountains and barren deserts, it is more similar to Afghanistan than Iraq 2. Domestic resistance to the Iranian government is very large, however I doubt much of them will be supporting the US in this war as they would be seen more as a foreign invader than liberator. 3. The Iranian government is not in as bad of an economic position as the Iraqi government was before Desert Storm. Yes, you can make the argument that Iran is under heavy sanctions, however Russia and China have come in to fill this economic gap. Iraq's war with Iran was so costly for Iraq that it costed more money than all of the money Iraq had made from the oil industry in the decades preceding it. 4. The US would likely not have a big coalition backing them like they did in '91. The main reason that the Gulf War even happened was because Iraq invaded Kuwait, which angered the international community into forming the coalition. In this situation it is the opposite, it is the US invading a country, and much of the international community would either be neutral or release unbinding condemnations on the USA (with the possible exception of Russia and China, who may supply Iran). In addition, as the USSR was falling apart during the Gulf War, this was the first year in which the USA had a free-hand at doing basically whatever it wanted as it became the sole superpower. As a result, they did crippling bombings of Iraq before the invasion which was so bad Iraq regressed into a temporary stone age and never recovered for the next 12 years. Today, the situation is different, and Russia and China will most likely back Iran, in this multipolar environment the USA would not be able to do these things again or else they would risk facing harsh retaliation. I still do think, despite all these factors, that the US would still win out the war. However, it would be EXTREMELY costly, and once the US takes over, the guerilla war which would follow (in terms of casualties for the US) would be less like Afghanistan and more like Vietnam, possibly higher. Millenium Challenge 2002 already showed that Iran would likely be able to inflict crushing defeats on the US even despite their technological and military inferiority compared to the US.

[@newcreationinchrist1423]

Iran can also do something that Iraq could not. They have the potential to hit the US directly because of sleeper cells within the USA. While it will not strategically affect the front lines, it could be a useful political tool for Iran as some Americans don't have the stomach for war.

[@LewLewVuitton]

Attacking the US is definitely not in Irans best interest. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 shows that Americans come together after attacks and that war support rises. If Iran's goal is to use the US public's war support against the government then it would think twice about attacking US soil.

[@mickeyg7219]

@@LewLewVuitton Terrorism is often used when a country is outmatched in a conventional warfare, but its effectiveness is unpredictable. Sometimes it'll just piss the invader's nation off more, the other time it can cause the invader withdraw, or if they haven't invade yet, make them reconsider. It's a dangerous bet, regardless, terrorism can sometimes keep the defender nation's free, but it could also risks retaliation that may lead to more civilians (that insurgents are "supposed" to protect) being killed. But then again, if someone resorted to terrorism, they have no other choice left (the reason why US war with Japan and Vietnam didn't lead to terrorism from those countries because their conventional forces can still hold up).

I believe the Iranians moral would be fairly high, this would likely be due to their very long and natural history. Unlike the rest of the Middle East following World War 1, Iran (persia) was not balkanized like the remnants of the Ottoman empire. The reason Iraq's troops would occasionally surrender without a fight is because they were not of the same ethnicity or religious sect. Iran on the other hand is composed of mostly ethnic Iranians who, for the most part, share the same branch of religion and support for thier secular government. So a prediction of years of bloody and fierce fighting on both sides would be accurate.

This could lead to Iranian freedom fighters and terrorist groups ambushing US forces, terrorist plots, and even launching attacks on American civilians, committing acts comparable to 9/11, leading to a whole new can of worms. Would truly be a shit show if the Americans went to war with Iran. The war itself would be brutal and long, the Iranians have a decent military. After the Americans eventually won over, the occupation and keeping the peace would be hard. Look at Iraq. 16 years after the 2003 invasion and its still a war torn country. Iran would be like that just on a much larger scale, having further repercussions on the wider world.

55 percent of Iran is mountainous and more than 100 peaks are higher than 4000 meters. Iranians are experts at guerilla warfares and tactics. They have an 8 year war experience with Iraq and they also participated in waging guerilla attacks against the US in Iran by supporting local Iraqi militias and they have a very good idea of how American weapons work and their weaknesses. Moreover, they have trained and participated in wars against Israel along side with Hizbollah and they actively participated in the most ferocious war in Syria using some incredible tactics. Additionally, they helped Iraq in their war with ISIS and gained incredible amount of experience by countering ISIS guerilla tactics. These are just few examples!! Iranians might not fully support their government but in case there's ever an attack then that will unite them and they'll put up a serious fight. Iranians are very patriotic and their loyalty to their country is commendable. Iran can also accelerate their nuclear development and obtain nuclear capabilities within few weeks of additional enrichment. Putin can also return the favor to the US and start dumping billions of dollars worth of advanced weapons and ammunitions into Iran. The only way for the US to win this war is by dropping nuclear weapons on every single Iranian city and village. But, I know our politicians and our military industrial complex very well and I wouldn't be surprised if the US started a war with Iran in the next decade or so.

[@vanhattfield8292]

Iran couldn't defeat Iraq in 8 years and the US walked through Iraq in 6 weeks. If a soldier was 18 years old when that war ended in 1988, he would be 54 years old now and any experience from that time long forgotten and would not be much of a threat today. Iran would be even easier to defeat than Iraq was because of the extensive coast lines in both the North and South. Couple this with the fact that almost all of their major cities are 50 miles or less from those coasts, which allows our Navy to bomb them into submission, as our Air Force took out everything that moved on the ground. They would be starved out in a month, the same as Iraq was in '91. Any guerilla fighters can run to the hills and hide in caves, there is no need to find those guys to defeat Iran. If we tried to "occupy" Iran, there would be the same issues that every occupation brings, but there would be absolutely no need to do so to defeat them.

[@kojirohyuga9842]

Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world in the war against Iran and was financially and militarily supported by the Arabs, the Soviet Union, China, the United States and other Western countries. West Germany, for example, provided them with chemical weapons to kill civilians. Of course, early in the Iraq war, it was able to occupy several cities for two years, but a few years later, Iran pushed them back empty-handed. When the United States invaded Iraq, due to Iraq's long war with Iran and the Iraqi government's economic problems and lack of equipment and Lack of support from Western, Arab and communist countries and lack of fighters, etc., finally with the help of 40,000 British troops and the support of NATO, Japan, Australia and Korea and ...
