Israel’s significantly lower score of 0.6581 compared to Iran’s 3.4418 suggests a ample advantage in overall military capability, despite Iran’s larger geographical size and population. This disparity is likely attributable to Israel’s advanced military technology, strong alliances, and consistent investment in defense.
