Reply #54: 25,494,746 (available for combat)

Iran's population is 70,049,262 (2006 est*)

under 15 male & female....
females 16 & over
men over 65

equals 44,554,514


that leaves 25,494,746 men between 16 and 64..

one could easily assume that if one's contry were to be attacked, that most of those men would be conscripted into service ..

Of that number, there already are many who ARE milityary and already trained & ready to go.

and then there's Iran's terrain,,
