I've said similar on here but one us jet out of the 1000 they own gets shot down and Iran is a brilliant combatant.
I've seen very little from Iran that's actually impactful on any military targets. The US bases they attack are basically empty apart from a few contractors, and that's pretty much all they've done. Most the missiles are landing in residential areas or open areas and damage is minimal, of course there will be a lot of injuries from these attacks but that's purely due to shrapnel causing damage.
They fire a dozen missiles on a good day, a few will get intercepted, a few will hit a field, one or two in a residential area and another hits the storage room of a semi abandoned US base.
Meanwhile Israel and the US have destroyed the leadership, lots of military and civilian targets, naval, air force etc.
Somehow Iran is painted as a winner? It's a big fucking nation of 100 million, if this is their show of defense/attack then it's fucking embarrassing, downed possibly a few planes which were asking for it by low flying and fired hundreds of missiles at pretty much nothing.
Closing down the straits isn't a genius move, Egypt has closed the Suez before and this is no different, requires very little manpower and mostly just threats which will stop pretty much anyone.
