Much different circumstances, the U.S. wouldn't fuck with China because of the financial impact it would have. Not to mention they have a MUCH stronger military and actual allies unlike Iran....
Iran is essentially a loner and would be crazy to declare war against the U.S. anyway.
So the requirements to declare war are “loner” and “bad guy”
I can prepare a list of countries that have these 2 requirements if you wish
Regarding your military comparisons, Iran’s military is much stronger than that of Iraq, good thing we handled that flawlessly...rather handling that flawlessly
Edit regarding financial impact
Also good thing that since Iraq was a small weak country (smaller than Iran, which you are also calling small so by definition), there aren’t/werent any financial implications of that invasion. ~20 years later everything is going as planned. Iran should go just as smooth since it’s actually more powerful than Iraq.
Difficult for my fingers to write this logic train out lol
