Iran is about 1/5 the size of the United States, 1.68 millions square Kilometers. To occupy the land in Iran we need over 1 million troops. It is not practical to do land occupation. The only solution with the Iranian terrorist regime is a military one but in the form of a massive Air and Naval war to destroy their nuclear facilities, military infrastructures, command and control centers, etc.. Such a war will weaken the terrorist mullah a lot and it will give an golden opportunity for the Iranian people to overthrow them, but in this case we need to keep a close military air support support for the rebels who are overthrowing the regime.

I agree with you on the "air and naval war" part but not on limiting the action to those kinds of assaults. Occupation requires fewer soldiers than in the past due to newer tactics and technologies. Many of the people in Iran are against the current regime, and most of that land area is virtually devoid of people conducive to post-war rebellion. Almost all civilians tend to go along after military occupation.
