It was a question/hypothesis, not statement of fact.
Just pointing out there are other ways to move troops.

Understood...and I'm just pointing out that Iran lacks the capability to move a combat division with its required support by sea.

Now, if you want to talk about airlift capability...they could do that using commercial aircraft of their own or via contract with Venezuela (with whom they have existing agreements to deliver who-knows-what to our hemisphere)...it would take longer and they would have to transit Iraqi airspace, but it could be done.
