Make a deal with the Kurds to invade from the north, The Iraqis from the west. And the Afghans and Pakistanis from the east, the US providing air support. Tell them any territory they take they can keep.The Iran military would fold, they couldn't fight on so many fronts at once. Then the populace could get in a civilian gov't provided there is any country left. It could come out that the country of Iran could cease to exist, all pieced out between the neighbors.

It would take a full scale invasion. Boots on the ground, significant casualties, combined arms, air/sea/land and special forces. Also need full cooperation and participation from both the neighboring gulf states and Israel. That in itself is an obvious deal breaker. The two week timeline is achievable but highly unlikely.
More probable is a continuation of statu quo and continued unrest in the region.

I would hesitate severely to say that Iran won, I would just say it didn't completely lose and we didn't achieve total victory. Tehran has been weakened considerably by what has taken place.

@Bumbles That is true, but they are being built. Tehran is losing leverage.

@Bumbles No more axis of resistance, the Strait is being slowly bypassed. This is A Weakened Tehran we're talking about whether or not Trump managed to force the strait back open.

But when viewed from a broader perspective, the outcome looks different. The almost three-year-long regional conflict that started with Hamas’s attack on Israel in October 2023 and culminated in Operation Epic Fury this spring has put the United States and its partners in a far stronger position in the Middle East and left Iran much weaker. Iran’s proxy network of militant groups is largely in ruins; Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, one of Iran’s key partners, is gone; Tehran has been mostly ignored by its supposed allies in Beijing and Moscow; and Iran’s conventional forces, and much of its defense and nuclear industrial base, have been decimated. Iran’s sole victory from the latest round of conflict has come from its ability to close the Strait of Hormuz and cause economic damage across the world. But closing the strait also harms Iran itself, and the impact of a closure is likely to weaken over time as countries seek alternative suppliers, substitutes for oil, and new shipping routes to avoid the strait.

By firing Hegseth and then resigning to allow someone with intelligence to deal with it.

he can't--he has not even made it clear what his objective is...or how it could end...he said he wanted to stop Iran from producing nukes, but that would eventually require a treaty with verification--which is exactly the deal he tore up first term...the only way to absolutely guarantee no nukes there is to occupy the country with troops and inspectors--not likely
By his constant yammering over their media. They're sure to commit suicide.
