#Iran

So if it comes to a invasion of #Iran there are several things to see and know. The #Geography is on the side of Iran. The #West is protected by a massiv #Chain of #mountains wich would be easy to #defend even with a weaker #army they could try to keep there a defend line

The north is not able to reach for the #US troops and the #caspiansee is #landlocked by many #nations. A inportant @NATO allie if the defens act works would be #Turkey wich would be forced to send troops against #Iran and a area mainly owned by #Kurds in #Iran.

the east has a little lower mountain chain and a bigger desert in the south west the #Dasht-e #Lut and is coverd by huge #rocks and the area of #Namak-#Zar inside Dasht-e Lut is the #hotest place on #earth actual. And the border area to #Pakistan is also coverd by a dry #desert

Only lower risk way would be by the street of #Hormuz were more then 40% of the world #oil is transported and on its smallest point its just 37.9km= 20.49Sm wide and could be tryed by #Iranian ships to defend. But this would leade in a #escalation with #SaudiArabia.

Saudi Arabias #Oil transport is more then 80% by transport from there oil ressources in the east. Currently are piplines in construction to its east coast to reduce the threat of a Iranian blockade. Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain would be completely forced for trade with its neighbour

This could maybe leade to a hyper crash if the #US would not use there #Oil storage for a bit of time but could Iran really block the strait of #Hormuz? The deserts in Iran are absolutly human #hostile and you cant #life in there

#Theran the capital of #Iran Is fully surrounded by the main #mountain chane and fully surrounded by huge mountains and a #invasion would be like #Kabul. The important point wich influence this is the #support of the #people in the #country and how much #force the

#regime in #Iran uses to force people being #soldiers. And the life source of Iran is on #Chuzestan.

My thoughts did i forgot anything?
