It wasn't political. There are a whole lot of reasons bombing Iran is probably a terrible idea. I was just mocking the notion that the Iranian defense forces stopping us was one of them.

This might not be entirely true. Iran has a much more dangerous military than Iraq did, and the US would struggle mightily to find local bases from which to launch an attack against Iran. If the US has to fight the entire Iranian armed forces from a few carriers in the Persian Gulf, expect it to be pretty bad.

I was referring to bombing Iran, not invading. Iran cannot stop the US from immediately controlling their airspace, and seaspace for that matter.
