    Iran watched and learned from both US and USSR.

    US always understated their capabilities.

    USSR always overstated their capabilities- especially in regards to hardware.

    Iran has religious leaders claiming they’ll blow up the US in bombastic fashion, such that everyone ignores it, that’s the lesson from USSR - make yourself look like a bombastic overstatement.

    What the US didn’t expect was that they’d learned from them and have an extremely competent military, with incredibly understated hardware.

    Trump has bitten off SO MUCH MORE than he can chew.

    WHAT?! Are they really claiming the President of USA isn’t telling the truth? Isn’t Trump known for always telling the truth and never cheating?!
    I have no idea who would believe such claims?

      It was obvious from day 2. Both of his presidency in general and of this war in particular.
