Can these guys defend themselves from an invasion from a country

Honestly, against Russia? I imagine them holding out decently.

China? I imagine China would fare better than Russia.

US? Probably would just be like another Gulf Storm.

I imagine they would immediately go to ground and just get working on an insurgency

If Iran does have something like a 'doctrine' for fighting against the US, it'd go:

1. Burn your uniforms
2. Start burying AKs
3. Start digging tunnels

>there are people who think China has any force projection whatsoever or/and has a stronger military than Russia

But according to those death figures Iran got their ass whooped?

He's referring to the fact that they weren't successfully invaded. fact is that they fought that war with dug in MBT artillery and mine-field- clearing kids. They would be absolutely destroyed by US airpower barring committed, overt SAM support from Russia. The real risk is they would destabilize everything everywhere. Hezbollah could attack israel, the PMF could sieze control of Iraq for the IRGC, and they could probably wing a deal with the Taliban. It would make Russia's hybrid warfare look like nothing.

Also, Gulf Storm? Really nigga?

It's not like that's a difficult thing to achieve these days, but China still isn't there just yet.

For the record though, Russia isn't too good with force projection either, with their one busted ass aircradt carrier.

They fought an 8-year stalemate with Sadaam's forces. That fact alone answers all of your questions.

tl;dr - get BTFO

We also aren't really doing much in Syria beyond arming the "rebels" *cough*ISIS*cough

Iran is actually military weak. I'd say they're about as strong as Iraq pre Desert Storm. Remember that many of their equipment are old and their military is held back by sanctions.

Well Iran isn't bothered by Tribal Nignoggery. Even the minorities are bretty loyal.
