The United States and Israel would never launch a ground operation in Iran—it would be tantamount to suicide. The reason we consistently assert that America won't wage a ground war isn't due to a lack of courage, but because any U.S. ground campaign in Iran would inevitably result in a humiliating defeat. Neither the U.S. nor its allies can currently afford the capacity for large-scale ground warfare against a medium-to-large industrial nation requiring amphibious operations.
Considering America's weakened domestic economy, dwindling political support, and the threat posed by China, launching a ground invasion becomes even more unthinkable.
Looking ahead, the key question is whether Iran can sustain its long-range strike capabilities while maintaining domestic stability. Iran's vulnerability lies in the risk that the U.S. and Israel could launch airstrikes to destroy its energy infrastructure and industrial facilities—a significant challenge for enduring a protracted conflict.
