Yes, we could bloody Iran really well, except we have no strategy to capitalize on it and it never a good idea to attack when a enemy wants it. Other than getting some revenge, a single massive air strike would accomplish little in the long run or backfire on us and our allies.
If or when it comes to attacking Iran, there needs to be a long term strategy, and any campaign needs to really hurt the regime, not just the Iranian military.
The military option on Iran has two consequences.
It would empower the Iranian regime and there would be different POTUS after the elections.
Correct. The USAF could win over in a few hours or days. But then what?

There are no final resolutions to many things. We just meet each new challenge as it comes.
