You should watch israel channels because that is one of the options they talk about,
One from Azerbaijan-Caspian sea-Tehran
Or from Gulf states side because that area is more flat.
To be fair they also say Iraq Erbil to Tabriz but that is much more insane.
Azerbaijan?! Did you even look at a map before passing on that idea? How are your troops even supposed to get there in the first place? And how’s the logistics lifeline to your forces supposed to run? This is the first time I have seen anyone seriously suggest the way to start a war is to first position your troops in a ready made caldron where they are cut off deep behind enemy lines from the very start, basically Stalingrad 2.0.
Do you have any idea of the length of time needed to just assemble the required ground forces for a ground invasion in a friendly gulf state? While under Iranian fire the whole time? Never mind 4-5 weeks, you will be lucky to be good to even start the invasion in 4-5 months.
The only way to do ground ops in the 4-5 week timeframe Trump has outlined is with air inserted special forces raids; or an amphibious assault.
