Iran against Israel minus U.S.

Israel is our friend and in this war we are behind the Israelis.

- Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez

Israel helps us in a number of ways and takes care of OFWs as well. But this is real talk about realpolitik. Without the help of the U.S., Israel would have been finished against Iran in a matter of hours or less than three days at the most.Without America, Israel could have been beaten by Iran in less than 72 hours. It is the U.S. that holds the key to war or peace in the Middle East. Iran is a humongous behemoth in area, population, oil, and even war wherewithal. Without the unauthorized support of President Trump, and I mean unauthorized by the U.S. Congress, the ongoing conflict would have been expeditiously terminated in three days or earlier.

Iran has an area of 1,648,195 square kilometers with well-secured and strongly-defended borders, while Israel has only a minuscule 22,072 square kilometers. In area alone and with its vast oil and gas reserves, Iran beats Israel by leaps and bounds. Iran has a population of 92,417,651 in 2025 while Israel has only 10,147,200 people whose army, air forces, and navy men and women are busy fighting multiple wars. Again, Israel is beaten by leaps and bounds.
