Yes I know there is a huge open desert and shitloads of hostile forces in the way (including nukes), but can it be done?

    The whole reason Israel cared so much about getting their guys in power in Syria was to prevent Iranian weapons from moving freely, let alone an Iranian invasion. They’d have to cross a lot of hostile territory, and be completely overstretched. It’s not gonna happen.

    Can? Any silly nation can send all its troops to invade another nation.

    Should Iran do a land invasion? Absolutely not.

    Overland, no, underground, yes. Hamas knew the children yearn for the mines so they dug a tunnel connecting Gaza to Tehran.

    Why? Let them come to Iran to fight insurgent forces, get their entire colonial project wrecked like what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq

      They don’t really have to. They just have to reduce Iran’s reach so it can stop supporting the Resistance, then they can complete their genocide and further military attacks consequence-free. They basically have at this point from the sounds of it.

        Yeah they’re in an unfortunately good position. With the fall of Syria to CIA jihadists (are there other kinds?) their supply routes to Hezbollah in Lebanon have been cut so Hezbollah is not in a good place. Add on that they decapitated Hezbollah by killing Nasrallah and injuring or killing many other top leadership in the pager attackers and their proxy forces and position is not in a good place. The Egyptian side into Gaza is closed so it’s hard to say how much further the resistance can fight on there without resupply and they can hardly strike out at the zionists either, only attack them when they enter Gaza and lately they’ve been sending in ISIS proxy forces instead and killing Hamas who respond to them attacking food shipments with missile strikes. A full war that really weakens the zionists could yet occur but more than likely it would just deplete NATO stockpiles and leave the zionists even more supported and propped up by the west. Iran can’t really turn the other cheek here but if it keeps escalating the US/NATO could get drawn into a war with them at which point they’re removed from the board for some years/decade as a serious resistance to the occupation and all you have left then is Yemen who without Iranian support may not be able to do as much.

        This could also be seen by empire planners as good, as part of isolating China (and Russia to a degree) from oil and petroleum and from using the crossroads that is west Asia to access via land Europe, Africa, etc. Thus geographically isolating both of them and solidifying the US hold on west Asia in the coming confrontation with China where it/NATO tries to pull as many countries into its bloc/sphere as possible in order to isolate, choke, pressure, and cook China.
