I doubt that we send in many ground troops or plan an occupation. While the US Army and Marines are pretty well tied down, that does NOT apply to USAF and Naval assets.
If you want to know what's is likely to happen any time any where, just follow the logistics train.
Right now, it looks like we are well prepared for very serious strikes on Iran. Thousands if not hundreds of targets...
One real question right now is "how deep is deep enough?" We may find out soon.

I agree on all points with this assessment. Except for the conspiracy theory part that Hirsch advanced.
