Iraq's military was less than half the size of the Iranians and was decimated in the first Gulf War, making it a pretty easy target the second time around especially since they couldn't use their oil wealth to fortify the troops. Iran has had no such issues. The have had the chance to stockpiled and modernize. No one really knows what arsenal they have managed to aquire. The Americans would likely win a war, but at what cost? Would it be acceptable to invade, occupy and control Iran (an their oil) if the cost is a dirty nuke dropped in Tel Aviv?
