Actually most of the statistics you have stated are wrong. Especially on military budgets. Things are also not that simple. The real American military budget is in the area of around 1 trillion usd. Lets say look at the budget of say Iran at currently 25 billion usd. On paper sounds a big difference. But if we look closer its not that simple. It costs around 25 times more to employ one american soldier then one iranian soldier, so in those terms alone america needs a defense budget that has to be 25 times higher then Irans to start just to match the wage bill.
Second, Iran has no nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, so none of its defence budget is being wasted in that area. But America has to spend the vast portion of its defence budget in these area.
Third, Iran maintains no bases outside the country, but America once again spends vast amounts of its defence budget on maintaining overseas bases.
Four, Iran is not at war with anyone. The United States is at war with 2 other countries which take up even more of its defence budget.
So in effect there is not a lot of money left in the American defence budget for anything, let alone another war.
This is why America was forced to beg around to bring in partners on the develpment of the f35, which their own defence dept states is a far lag behind the Russian fa-pak50. So in effect we now see Russia for the first time gaining total air superiority over America.
America can never attack Iran because it simply cant win.
Iran would close down the oil straits that ship 40 percent of the worlds oil in a matter of hours with no way for them to be re-opened. This would collapse the world economy.
Iran runs Subs that carry ram jet missiles capable of taking out aircraft carriers.
Iran is capable of launching 30,000 missiles an hour at American bases in the surrounding region which would mean an American military base would be taken out of action in around 6 minutes flat.
Iran posses tor air defence systems from russia, and claims to both posses and developed s300, making any air attack on iran a suicide mission.
Iran is not some backwater like Iraq or Afghanistan. Talk of an attack is nothing more then psych warfare that will never happen. Put simply, America does not have the ability to launch any sort of war with Iran.
