Iran and Iraq fought for 10 years and it was a stalemate. We took out the Iraqi army in days. We could take out the Iranian army just as fast.

"... we could take out the Iranian army just as fast..."

sorry, disagree. different terrain: Iraq is Tank-friendly country in the southern half, pretty good road network, plentiful bases for support nearby, etc.

Iran is mountainous, poor roads, bad infrastructure, represents a more significant threat to an overwhelming % of world's oil tanker traffic which we guarantee the safety of (Bretton-Woods), far from support bases, etc.

that being said, yes we can put a world of hurt on them, but oil prices worldwide would skyrocket, bringing chaos, unintended consequences, foremost among them the guaranteed attacks against our Prez from the Quisling dhimmicrats and their Pravda MSM.

Better to keep the pressure/sanctions on, be ready to strike back surgically as we did here - and let the mullahs die from within... They're slowly dying, it's not hurting us to see them die a slow death, and their lashing out as they are looks so much like a punk being put in a chokehold, gasping as his arms flail about, that I enjoy getting another bowl of popcorn to watch! :-)
