(No kids, please) In a war between Iran and Israel, who would triumph?

Only the educated and knowledgable, please. I've seen things like this go down badly, so let's exclude the ''Israel sucks!'' and ''Iran sucks!'' crowd: does anyone have a source to compare armies, strategies and likelihoods of victory between these two countries?

Let鈥檚 look at each country separately first:

ISRAEL

-----------

Israel is a small country surrounded by other countries that aren't exactly sympathetic to the Israeli freedom cause. Their army is well trained and well funded so you can be sure that in a fight, they would know what to do. Also remember that America backs Israel in many ways and that would make the USA a really good ally in a war (especially against Iran who the USA isn't too fond of either). Also Israel would probably get support from others. Iran's leader declared a desire to 'wipe it off the map'. So other countries could see this as an attempt to cash in on this promise. Israeli support wouldn't be short.

IRAN

-------

Iran's movement to war wouldn't be good at all. Technically it might be able to defeat Israel though numbers since Iran dwarfs Israel in size and probably military force (know nothing about their armed forces really).
