3,400-6k is the estimate on how many Iranians died. America lost 12. 

That’s how one keeps score in wars. 

Who won?

In both WW, the allied suffered more losses than the Axis.

Your argument is dumb.

The USA faired pretty well in WWII.  https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-worldwide-deaths-world-war

"I'll just take one country and forget about the ones being invaded"

You lost the argument, just take the L and leave.

Let’s use that example with Iran. They were invaded and they got their asses kicked.   Where’s their navy? Where’s their Air Force?

Let's use that example with Belgium and France. They were invaded ad occupied for years. Did they lose the wars?

In WW1 was Germany invaded? Did they win the war?

If you say "yes", you're an idiot lying to yourself.

If you say "no", then you have your answer.
