So, you dispute these figures from globalfirepower.com? They say Iran has 150 fighter/interceptors to the US 1,962. Iran has 158 attack aircraft to the US 2,830. I don’t see much of a battle.

The US "massive air superiority" effectively became a myth during the late 2000s.
The only reason you, Americans, still believe you can achieve full air superiority and not be shot down is because all your enemies for the past several decades didn't have airforces to begin with.
Using a jet fighter to attack a lightly trained civilian in sandals and holding an AK 47 doesn't exactly qualify to compare with attacking a fully standing army with a modern airforce and air defences.

I dream of the United Citystates of Earth, where each Citystate has a standardized border such as one whole degree of Latitude by one whole degree of Longitude.
