So much pearl-clutching.
Iran literally has no military option that doesn't cost them a lot more than it does us. We have no compelling reason to put boots on the ground inside their borders.
Invade Iraq? Lose your nuclear program, navy, and industry in airstrikes. Blockade the straits of Hormuz? See above. Sink a US ship? See above.
I've seen posts in here about how professional the Iranian military is
Anyone remember the Republican Guard
It's not really a matter of professionalism in this case, as our technology is so woefully mismatched. Iran has decent equipment, but nothing any level of professionalism will close the gap with US technology on.
I don't mean to imply they're helpless, but we don't even have to put pilots over their airspace if we don't want to. They simply do not have the tools to fight us in our battle space unless we take the bait and put troops on the ground.
No troops on the ground
No nation building
Just death
