A ground attack on Iran could prove to be a bigger disaster for America than Vietnam and Afghanistan. Experts believe that at least 22 lakh soldiers will be required to capture this place. He believes that it is impossible to change power through an airstrike and that a ground war could result in America’s biggest defeat.

New Delhi: America’s ‘Special Military Campaign’ continues against Iran. Thursday was the sixth consecutive day when America, along with Israel, targeted Tehran. President Donald Trump wants regime change in Iran. He has said that the next Iranian leader should be of his choice. However, according to former Pentagon official and Middle East analyst Alia Awadallah, it is almost impossible to bring about regime change in Iran through airstrike alone. He says that if regime change is to be attempted then military presence on the ground will be necessary. But this is the step that America is avoiding taking. Whenever there is talk of ‘boots on the ground’ i.e. ground attack in Iran, big strategists get nervous. The reason is Iran’s complex topography, vast territory, hilly fortifications, long supply lines and asymmetric warfare capabilities.
Former US Marine veteran Lucas Gage has warned on social media that you will land your forces on Iranian soil, but it will be impossible to bring them back alive. This country is naturally such a fortress, where every way to enter passes through the valley of death.
