I'm guessing it would be closer to 12 days.
As for redeploying US military personnel from Iraq to Iran, you need to consider that those troops are providing security for the Iraqis, remove them and it is very likely Iraq will have a civil war. Certainly the terrorists and Baathists would be quite encouraged to take advantage of the situation. It would quickly degenerate into a, dare I say it, quagmire.
We have occupied Iraq, and we would have to occupy Iran. With that many troops tied down, one wonders who would take advantage of the opportunity to engage in a bit of mischief. Perhaps the Chicoms would see their opportunity for the takeover of Taiwan?
That's why I'm glad the adults are in charge of the executive branch. They have access to a great deal more info and analysis than we do. I, for one, hope they are making wise decisions. Only time will tell.
As for the European troops being redeployed, I think that is a great idea. Apparently, we are keeping them there for some reason which I have yet to fathom.

I agree with your points. The Sunni insurgency is funded by Iran. If the leadership falls quickly enough, wondering if they could forment the chaos you mention in Iraq with our troops gone.
