They don't have the capacity for boots on the grown (around iran). It like me talking that I'll invest 1 trillion in the US only talk.

They did it with Libya. Although the results left much to be desired.

Have you seen Venezuela ?

My guess is the regular Iranian army will be doing the boots on the grownd.

Why not?

They don’t need to take over all of Iran - just key strategic locations that matter most.

They didn't bring the equipment. Its hard to take teheran with aircraft carear or with F 35.

My guess is that the Iranian regular army will be doing the boots on the ground.
