Iran Super Thread- Merged

Bombing some semi-literate peasants in the Yemeni hinterland is not the same as going against a modern militsry with high morale and moderate kit.
I might actually give the edge to the Houthi as the better solider. They are quite good light infantry. The Iranian Army might not actually fight, the IRGC and the Basij milita might, but the first is mostly made up of mafia muscle types and the other paid mercenaries used to going after unarmed civilians. There is a element within the IRGC that is quite good, but where they are located and how many is anyone's guess. Likely protecting the remaining leadership.

After a few weeks of bombing, how modern and capable is the IRGC?

As pointed out up thread a bit, the Gulf States may not like the war they are in, but I suspect they will like a dominant Iran even less. It is likely that they will support a prolonged war, if they think they can remove the threat to the straits that the current Iranian regime poses.
