Been telling you/anyone who would listen since at least 2015 that the only way to "win" a war with Iran is to not play.
The idea that this is somehow "surprising" - and man, I've heard that from senior military and foreign policy analysts and officials dozens of times this past month - is objectively an attack on your intelligence.
Iran saw what happened to Iraq's then 4th-largest army in the world and said "nope." The fact that we pretend they'll fight our way changes nothing.
