It's noticeable how they say that "Iran is very dangerous" and "Iran is weak, already defeated by our strength" at the same time. Very orwellian and I believe that scholars in fascism have noted that this is one of the common tactics they use. I listened to General Caine's claims and he said that the US, like Russia in Ukraine, didn't even achieve air supremacy yet in Iran and can only fly in safe zones not covered by Iranian Anti-aircraft batteries. The US only has some local air superiority in various areas. The US strategy is just to stay as far away as possible to minimize casualties. The Iranians on the other hand want the US forces to land and fight them hand to hand with their numerical superiority on the ground. Due to the lack of SEAD, the US is forced to use fiendishly expensive long range precision guided munitions (missiles, HIMARS rockets, operational level drones etc). Pretty soon, if not already the US has used as much Precision guided munitions as the 2003 Iraq war and twice as much as what was given to Ukraine by US-NATO in the first 2 years of the Ukraine war. This unnecessary war already significantly weakened the US military- many years of PGM production has been used up in the first 2 weeks+.
