You say a ground invasion might be an option, but Iranian citizens won't fight their govt?
The IRGC is the most powerful entity in Iran and rules with an iron fist. Without local assistance, boots on the ground would see American troops slaughtered.

Best outcome was leaving the Obama deal in effect.
But of course Trump is his quest to erase EVERYTHING Obama accomplished, never thought this far ahead.
AND HERE WE ARE.
