Unfortunately for Iran when war will come, as I highly doubt it will be in the years to come they will find out they are alone, alone with no allies and nobody wanting to risk anything for them.
you are correct. actually about 40 years ago the war did come to Iran and they did have no allies, it was the early year after the Iranian revolution and they didn't even have any military either. all their equipment was also western made and they couldn't even fix an engine if it broke down and those countries had abandoned Iran.

the new war will be different because now Iran has a strong military capable of mobilizing at least 2.5 million with an addition of 35 million fit to fight. it is technologically advanced enough to go toe to toe with supper powers.
Two things wrong with this.
Iran had received 70 F-14, those were net superior to anything the Iraq airforce had until they managed to get Mirage fighters and some newer Migs.
For a while, they fought with far better equipment than Iraq.
Now, it's exactly the opposite.
They have some leftovers F14, F5(lol), MirageF1 (out of production), J-7 (chinese M21) a few SU24, and finally something that is worth fueling between 30 and 40 Mig 29.
Toe to toe with superpowers? Are you going to put 30-40 fighters (the only ones in their arsenal who are fighters and not multirole or ground attack) against 300 F14 and F15 and on top of that 24 F35? (That's just what Israel has) One single carrier from the US holds more battle-ready aircraft than Iran has.
Remember that nobody will want to conquer Iran, just trash their army and in this case, the numbers of soldiers don't matter, the war will be over without a boot on the ground, the regime will collapse as it is already pretty much eroded from all the tension right now, this will be over in the way the Serbian war was, and everybody in Iran knows that all they do is trying to bluff.
But again, nothing is going to happen, although all of them are angry at each other in the middle east they like keeping it like that, more players on the map mean more chances of everyone being worried about what the others would do and thus refrain from doing stupid stuff and without a clue how the US will tackle for at least 4 years the problems in the region they will all be just shouting and not shooting, fortunately!
It's 21st century, we are all people...we can live together in peace! And there's enough for everyone!
Not this century, maybe the next one!
Look how hard it was to finally bring peace in Europe and we had way fewer issues between us than what other countries have right now.
First of all, before going to crypto, we have to know that can a war be happen in such new world. I think it is quite impossible because today countries are involved in cold war so much as they do not need any other option of war in the battlefield.
We just had a war three months ago between Azerbaijan and Armenia, d'oh!
