Iran is described as a "military nightmare" for land invasion due to the Zagros and Elburz mountain ranges and deadly salt flat deserts. General Michael Flynn is quoted as stating there is "no such thing as a tactical nuke," warning that any nuclear strike would create a "Chernobyl-style catastrophe." The geography of Iran makes it a natural fortress, complicating any military strategy that does not involve extreme escalation.
