HEAD TO HEAD
Iran vs Oman
Verdict
Iran holds a 76–24 advantage over Oman on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (82% of the combined total, $475bn) and active personnel (93% of the combined total, 610.0k).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
