It's easy to beat the United States in a war. The first thing you should put in your strategy is that they will underestimate you. It's a white people's curse. It's traditional. When you come from a colonial race with a history of conquest, it builds a superiority Complex memory in the DNA. Everyone seems beneath you, so you believe they can't do or know all the things you know. This makes them overly confident to a fault. And when you fight them in a way they never expected, because, of course, they always expect you to cower. They spend Trillions of dollars over a hundred years on psyop. So they are somehow certain you see them above yourself. When you start beating them, they can't stand the embarrassment and retreat to restrategize quickly; they don't believe you can sustain the temerity because they already paid for mentally breaking you to the media houses for years. So they become more narcissistic in their approach, and you crush them. And of course, with many casualties because they have the equipment and budget. This was how Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now Iran were lost wars for the US.

If I were Iran, I would bomb all the airports in the entire Middle East to the point that they would not be functional for years, at least a year. I don't know why leaders of certain countries are so patient. If the enemy knows you are a madman willing to annihilate all of humanity and die along with them. Absolutely nobody will dare attack you.
