Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1637914 Iran has proved that they can take down America with Assymetric warfare
remember the corvette navy ships the Israelis lost in the 2006 war??
since WW2, there wasn't any war that caused any amphibious ships to get sunk. not in Korea war, Vietnam, Gulf war, Any Arab - Israeli war until 2006
and a 2000 army group not only sunk 1 but 2 of the amphibious ships that Israel had which was given to by the US Navy...
It's all about strategy my friend.
it was with the use of good strategy that Cyrus with a relatively weak army defeated the mighty empire of Babylon, and it was strategy that a small army from macedonia lead by Alexander defeated the Persian Empire
and that strategy is something US has not been prepared for. It's something new, n the persians have mastered at it
