I doubt that the USA will swallow 6 digit body bags coming home. You will fight an Russia Ukraine style drone war with 10km+ kill zones in an mountainous terrain against a trained military which fought a 8 year war against Iraq with 500k casualties. Afghanistan would have been easy in comparison. How did this work out after trillions spent. This is utter madness. You will alienate even the most regime change friendly persons there. In the meantime the Strait will be closed for years.
Can you guarantee that over time China and Russia will not support Iran with technology and intelligence in drones, rockets, quiet underwater drones which reach CVNs undetected, nukes, and real time satellite intelligence? This is not Afghanistan where the threats are mainly IEDs and small arms fire.
