It should be shocking to no one that much of Iran is still just going about with their lives. Because of the scale distortion on google maps, Iran appears much smaller than it actually is. In reality, Iran (1,648,195 km²) is larger than:
- 3× the size of France (the largest Western European country)
- More than 3× the size of Spain
- 4.6× the size of Germany
- 5.5× the size of Sweden
- Nearly 7× the size of Italy
- Almost 7× the size of the United Kingdom
Iran is approximately 2.7× larger than Ukraine
- Iran: ~1.65 million km²
- Ukraine: ~604,000 km²
So just think about Russia's efforts against Ukraine, a country roughly 1/3rd the size of Iran. Now let's imagine the entire West's armed forces trying to commit to a full scale ground invasion. I really wish they would.
