And what make you think that the Iranis will use their armor effectively?
Muslim armies always try to engage their enemies with overwhelming firepower, moving slow into pre-determined positions, bringing to bear as many weapons as they can on their targets, in a constract to western armies, that prefer a fluid manouver, with some elements fixing the target while others outflank and envelop.

And as for the MOAB: Seeing as Iran isn't exactly filled with jungle, I don't see what this bomb can do that strategic bombing raids can't. What's it supposed to do in Iran; wipe out refugee camps? It's a not-so-fancy piece of technology that's supposed to inspire fear in the enemy and arrogance in Americans.

As I said, the Moab is very effective against infantry, especially if they only had time to build hasty defensive positions. The Moab is not limited to a jungle enviroment.
