It's like Japan in 1945. Invasion (Operation Downfall) was planned, set to begin late 1945, lasting into 1946, but was aborted, since:
- D-Day would be like Walmart opening compared to the amphibious op of Downfall
- It would be hardest and riskiest operation in US history...
- ...mainly because estimated casualties are MILLIONS of dead Americans and tens of millions of dead Japs. Terrain (fucking mountains everywhere), population (mentally ill ricels) were the main reasons.
Two nukes were far more preferable alternative, even to Japanese.
Let's see what kind of anime will Iran produce once it's over.
