This will be a different military warfare debate. But I will just briefly respond for the last time on the subject of "Iranian invasion of GCC". Its impractical by every sense. The Iranians success you see is its missile and drone force which it has built and invested for decades and hardened it in underground bases. By seeing that success you cannot conclude that can Iran somehow invade into another territory without traditional military & logistic layers.
There is no concept of moving mass forces without air support in modern warfare. Now you rightly said that drones are taking roles in battlespace as we see in ukraine russia war, but here's the thing there is no alternative to fighter jets. No drone can shoot down a fighter jet. While fighter jets armed with LGBs can annihilate an entire convoy of military trucks and at same time can shoot down drones. Again the scenes of FPV drones you see in Ukraine war are not implementable here. As in Ukraine the two frontlines are in contact with each other and pushing other, those FPV drones are short range drones being controlled by the frontlines themselves. They don't have to solve the problem of transporting mass number of soldiers across several countries to reach the frontline as they are already in contact. Plus Ukraine/Russia is densely forest / woodland, giving soldiers a million places to hide while operating those short range drones. To reach uae, any force from iran would have to travel in open in a desert for 1000s of kilometers Or cross a sea. Both are suicidal missions.
Bro, I feel that you make such statements knowingly that don't make any sense. Houthis can't travel in their toyotas across Saudi and Oman to reach uae or qatar. Houthis are dugged in north western yemen. Let's not fool ourselves.
As far as Iraq PMUs are concerned, forget about invading any country, let's ask them to first invade the US base in Iraq or even take care of the Kurds.
The million men under arms of Iran are for defense of Iran. US air power + gcc air forces will have a field day if such mass numbers start to move on open desert terrain. If you assume that Iran could "invade" gcc countries then why on earth iran needs underground bases in its own territory? It does because it knows that enemy airforce can hit it deep inside its own territory (and even rescue their pilots from their territory under their nose, we all saw US helicopters flying over Iranian territory with a tanker above them). and you expect Iran to go in hostile territory in a complete desert ?? You really high on something or what?
As far as US tried for 40 days, well ofcourse that's a different war. US had unwinnable objectives that to do regime change with air power or to completely destroy iran's offensive capability. If the objectives would have been to hit iranian military entering into kuwait or bahrain then you should be smart enough by now that what would have been the results. Iranian missile/drone capability survived only because its fortified in various underground bases. Anything outside is vulnerable, the leaders who were not in bunkers got killed. Iran knows its limitations and strengths. Iran will NEVER fight a war where it has weaknesses. It will only fight where it has strenghts. So take out that childish dreams of invasion.
