The United States can whip Iran in a matter of months.
Take a good look at what we did in Iraq. Some will argue the "war with Iraq" lasted "years", but the truth is the Iraqi military and Iraqi government fell quickly. The very first strike against Iraq completely destroyed their communications systems, which ended their ability to communicate. A war with Iran would be very similar. Such countries cannot fight a war against a large modern country. Larger, modern countries can strike out at such countries without ever being seen.
An occupation, however, is a different story.
