The Iranians have been begging to be nuked since November, 1979. I say grant them their wish.

An EMP over the nuke plants and a couple over power plants and game over for 10 years.

Any country that can land men on the moon (multiple times), build the atomic bomb, put a rover on Mars, build HUNDREDS of aircraft carriers during World War II, cure polio and invent the Internet can defeat a country like Iran.

Prior to launching Operation Enduring Freedom, the United States could have easily squashed the Ayatollah regim

Ah no they couldn't. No bases in the region to launch such an attack from. Also impossible to squash Iran while leaving Iraq untouched on our flank.

American Military Forces could certainly defeat Iranian forces and win a war there.
IF WE FOUGHT IT AS WE DID WW2. TO WIN. TO DESTROY THE ENEMY, THEIR CITIES, THEIR ABILITY TO WAGE WAR.
We stopped doing that once we went into Vietnam.

>>The Arab Spring uprisings induced by Iranian proxies haunts many Middle Eastern nations.<<

.
Then let them do something about it instead of expecting the infidel West to solve Muslim problems.

Let them consume one another.

April 6, 1984

Excerpt:
“However, the effects produced by a nuclear explosion were not fully realized until the “Johnston Island Test” in 1962. This nuclear blast had a yield of 1.4 megatons at an altitude of 250 miles. The explosion damaged a number of low earth orbit satellites and caused malfunctions and early failure of others. Another effect that was noted during the blast was a blackout up to 600 miles away of high frequency radio communications that lasted for hours. It was caused by disruption of the ionosphere. It also popped circuit breakers, street lights went out, burglar alarms rang, and power lines went down in Honolulu, about 800 miles away. In Nov. 1962, all above ground testing was halted and our testing and analysis was limited to underground testing, analysis of the existing atmospheric test data, nonnuclear simulation, and theoretical calculations.”

Just read and follow my tag line.

Screw bunker buster, turn those savages and every mountain and valley into molten glass.

Tell the king of saudia arabia, {our pals} they have one month to shut down every saudia sponsored foreign madrassa, or mecca and medina will be next.

Tell the ISI in POCK-E-Stahn, they have one month to turn every nuclear device over to a control group headed by NATO, or if they don't look to the glass flow in iran to see what comes next.

If we have to melt one or two hundred million mooselimbs and several million others, so be it.

The mooselimbs have invaded and now control 57 states {countries} if we don't stop them, the future is bleak.

Conventional War Against Iran Is Not Feasible

Depends on what you mean by "conventional".

I'll bet our conventional aircraft borne and naval weapons systems will work quite well on them.
