He's definitely done something incredibly stupid. Iran is a complete different animal to Iraq and Afghanistan. While no match for American Military power they do have some very modern hardware that they've acquired from Russia. I can imagine they'll be getting the S-500 missile defence system. Add this to their sheer will to fight America. If it does turn into all out war it will be their toughest fight since Vietnam with the potential for very high casualties.
UPDATE: Simultaneous attack by local militias and Iran have completely obliterated the Iraqi air base Trump announced must be paid for before he pulls out.
additional reports of 20 american troops killed (unverified at 00:13am )

Ah I'm not saying they're any sort of a match but they're far stronger than the Iraqi army was and The Taliban in Afghanistan. They recently carried out Naval exercises with Russia and China. It wouldn't surprise me if they're arming them with top notch equipment on the sly just like they did in Vietnam.
