I give the Iranian Navy and Air Force 24 hours, max, in a confrontation with the US. I give their army 5 days.

You are correct regarding how long Iran's AF would survive (and probably a little generous. Most likely very few Iranian aircraft would even launch).

As for the Army of Iran (Professional Army) it would take longer then 5 days to defeat them entirely simply because of the logistics involved. We could resupply them fast enough to win in less then 5 days.

However, securing the victory after defeating the Iranian professional Army would be the big concern.

I was about to comment, then I saw the "max." You are very generous.
