Scenes from the attack of Ain al-Assad, the Iranian army and Khamenei
The "American-Iranian" tension took a dangerous escalating curve after the Iranian attack on the American base of Al-Assad in Iraq, which came in revenge for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Revolutionary Guards Corps in a US strike with drones last Friday, which calls for a decisive response from US President Donald Trump, who has threatened a swift strike of 52 targets in Iran, raises the question about the possibility that the war of threats and declarations could turn into a military war on the ground.
Although excluding the officials of the two countries and their desire to stay away from the war, the successive developments of the repercussions of the incident, which observers have become unable to predict, make it imperative not to exclude the war scenario completely, and with the assumption that the US-Iranian conflict is heading towards a military war in the near future, any country can be predicted The military will gain weight by measuring the capabilities available to the army of each of the two opponents, and the Iranian military ability can be monitored by numbers, according to the "Global Firepower" military website, whose information is well known and the reports of studies and research institutes that provide information about the competencies and military equipment and the Technologies available to Iran.
These points monitor Iran's military capacity in numbers:

- The Iranian army has 1,900 multi-missile launchers and 398 naval vessels.
Iran also has a mobilization force known as the Basij, a civilian voluntary security force that enables Iran to mobilize and train militarily in times of crisis under the supervision of the Revolutionary Guards.
- A US Defense Department report describes Iran's missile strength as the largest in the Middle East and mainly consisting of short and medium-range missiles.
