Of course, the US and Israel military might combined is orders of magnitude bigger than that of Iran but that is not the issue at hand here. Iran can wage a war of attrition, guerrilla style but this time, with drones. They are targeting things like fuel depots (Kuwait Airport), Government buildings (Bahrain), etc.. that are hard to defend against low speed and low flying drones.

As I type, the Kuwait ministry of defense just announced they are currently dealing with a wave of hostile drones that pierced their air defences.
