America cannot even defeat a 3rd world country such as Iraqi or Afghanistan. The war with Iraqi and Afghanistan had been devastating to the USA economy.
Americas goal was always just to threaten Iran into military action so they would stop developing nuclear weapons but war with Iran is highly unlikely as Iran is a moderate country with a good economy.
War with Iran would destroy Americas economy and might even start World War 3.

Think about it this way.
Iraqi - 3rd world country (poor country)
Afghanistan - 3rd world country (poor country)
Iran - Good stable economy
If USA is losing a war against Iraqi and Afghanistan then how will they do against Iran?
The only way for USA to win the war would be to bombard the country to death and killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to win the war but every country would repell against America which even Americas allies would turn sides and fight against America.

What losses did the US have in the gulf war?
USS Stark (Frigate), 38 US Sailors killed when struck by an Iraqi launched missile in 1987, during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) in the Persian Gulf. _____________________________________________________________ The Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War were two separate wars, fought two years apart. The casualties on the USS Stark were the only ones of the Iran-Iraq War as the US did not take either side, but US Navy frigates did escort tankers of many nations in the Persian Gulf which were "reflagged" with the US flag so that an attack on them would constitute an attack on the US. Despite the attack on the Stark, the US still did not go to war with Iraq at that point. The US and other countries of the Gulf Coalition did not go to war with Iraq until Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of '90. To answer the original question, exact US casualties in the Gulf War are unknown to this contributor, but they were very light for operations the size of Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In Desert Shield more US soldiers died from accidents than Iraqi weapons. The Gulf War has been compared to the Spanish-American War because it was also short and glorious, and more US troops died from malaria than from Spanish 7.92mm bullets.

Are Americans stupid enough to agree on war with Iran and pay higher price for everything such as gas food etc?
Whether or not it is stupid to go to war with Iran is a personal estimation. The higher domestic prices of goods that come as a result of war have not historically been a deterrent to war. Typically, opposition to wars in the US has come from the likelihood of numerous Americans to die in combat, the diplomatic fallout as a result of the conflict, and the lack of clarity concerning war objectives. In a conflict with Iran, the American public would consider all of these and make a vote depending on how well the administration made its case. I personally do not wish for there to be war between Iran and any country, but like any conflict, there may be reasons that trump reservations to go to war.
