Out of the above eight factors, Iran and Israel meet only two aspects.

Iran is ahead in terms of navy. Iran's navy has 101 ships while Israel's has only 67 ships. Neither country has any aircraft carriers or helicopter carriers. Iran has 19 submarines while Israel has a fleet of only 5 submarines.
