Could Iran Become a Dominant Land Power in the Middle East?*Kyle Mizokami* *Iran, Middle East* The most important part of the IRGC, and possibly all of the Iranian Armed Forces, is the Quds Force. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Today Iran has an enthusiastic, if not quite cutting-edge military-industrial complex. One of the most powerful and influential countries in the Middle East is undoubtedly Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran sits astride several key strategic—and often volatile—regions, including the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Caucasus. Iran is primarily a land power, and has invaded and suffered inv... read more

It was complicated, expensive, and may have only offered a slight improvement over the Navy’s existing carrier-based platforms (if any at all).

U.S. Army History of Iraq War Vol 1- Chapter 19 The Iraqi Civil War Comes Into The Open, January-June 2006
The winter of 2005-06 saw Iraq’s civil war come out into the open. That was after the February 2006 bombing of the Samarra shrine. Unsurprisingly the U.S. commander General George Casey still thought his plans were working and pushed for a timely withdrawal. He failed to realize that Sunnis were disenfranchised or that the government was actively taking part in the fighting. That also meant that the Americans continued to miss the splits within the insurgency. This period was a testament to how disconnected the U.S. was from what was going on in the country.
