Tornado Alley (PROG)

hap0206, Nobody has failed to mention the "magnificent US military", it's not an elephant in the room.
What you fail to consider is the fact that in a case of such inequality asymmetric warfare has
proven successful. Have you forgotten the result of the US-Vietnam War already. See:

Time to confront folly of Iran war and irrational US spending
[...]
With a lack of trustworthy information to make rational decisions, irrational moves are misinterpreted. These cause moves and countermoves that escalate in an attempt to shake the enemy’s will to fight. Iran’s use of asymmetric warfare shows that cheap, mass-produced drones and missiles can overwhelm expensive interceptors and radar equipment that cannot easily be replaced. An Iranian regime with no central command is whittling down opponents who keep looking for an expensive silver bullet to end the fight.

You even just read mentions of it in the post you replied to there:

* Countering Encirclement: Iran sees itself surrounded by U.S. military bases in the Gulf and a nuclear-
armed Israel. Its "Axis of Resistance" is a mechanism to deter superior military forces using asymmetric means.
[...]
* Asymmetric Focus: Iran's military spending is relatively low compared to regional rivals like Saudi Arabia
and Israel, forcing it to focus on low-cost, high-impact non-state groups rather than conventional arms.

And again you saw a mention of it in a post from blackhawks to you:

You are, again, badly misinformed. You've got no earthly business going all Gung ho about a situation that is fraught with danger to American troops. I can't think of a single better excuse for the American military to mount a coup against the biggest threat to the Constitution, YOUR renegade fascist fake president. Guarantee you that he goes TACO yet again.
Stay tuned, keyboard commando.
[...]## Intelligence Consensus
US strikes have hit ~7,800 targets and degraded some Iranian assets, but experts deem island occupation unfeasible without tying down massive forces for weeks against asymmetric threats. Iranian rhetoric mocks seizure attempts, aligning with US hesitation amid Trump's diplomatic push (offering energy site pauses) and oil price pressures. This mix of defenses, geography, and escalation risks renders the "easy grab" notion detached from briefed realities.

And yet another mention of asymmetric warfare success in this bit from a sortagreen post:

Come closer. Come closer.
"It seems all but inevitable that Trump is going to pull the trigger and launch an invasion of Iran, too stupid and too prideful to admit that his decapitation gambit didn’t work and the situation has spiralled out of control.
P - The Iranians do not seem intimidated. IRGC commander Ali Akbar Ahmadian issued a statement on Twitter that just reads:
P - "For years we have been waiting for the Americans to reach the designated points, and for more than two decades, we have trained for this moment with an asymmetric warfare strategy. Now, we have only one message for the American soldiers: Come closer.""

Thanks for your revised timeline, you are getting as good at that as Trump has become:
[...]...unconditional surrender will come when the Iranian people seize control of their government -- my thinking is that will happen with assistance and armament of and by the marines and 82 Airbourne -- we shall see in the coming few weeks"

Few weeks is a weak fudge though, earlier in your initial flub on it i think you mentioned a fortnight, or so.
