It's interesting to look at the military potential of the two countries. Iran's population is 92.4 million people, while Israel's population is much smaller — only 9.5 million. Despite this difference in numbers, both states have impressive armed forces.

In terms of active military personnel, Iran can deploy 49.49 million, compared to 3.95 million in Israel. Reservists also show a significant gap — 41.54 million versus 3.28 million, respectively.

Regarding armaments, the picture is more interesting here. Israel has 1,300 tanks compared to 1,713 in Iran. Israel has 240 combat aircraft, while Iran has 188. However, Israel has more attack helicopters — 48 versus 13.

The naval forces also differ. Israel has 62 ships, while Iran has 107. Submarines are quite few: 5 in Israel and 25 in Iran.

Israel has 35,985 armored vehicles, while Iran has 65,825. The numbers for self-propelled artillery are roughly equal: 352 in Israel and 392 in Iran. Interestingly, such huge differences in population size do not always correlate with military potential — technology and training play an equally important role.
