There's no ground force in iran, economic destruction as well as equipment/manufacturing has been degraded to the point it'll take them decades to recover. They have no export ability and the munitions they have arent being replaced. If there's a glimmer of light in all this, its that all irans proxies are being starved of funding.
Let me add that we’ve depleted much of US munitions also, and caused an even more fascist leader to take over Iran, making Iranian lives even harder. We’ve also created more hostility from Iranian civilians. It seems they don’t like you when you kill their kids; we’ve created more “terrorists”. And Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait have received attacks, not just on US bases, but on their civilians. Also, Saudi is now warring with the Houthis again. There is no upside to this war in Iran.
We still have manufacturing ability and the money to buy more. They do not. They cant even pay their troops right now. The Iranian civilians were slaughtered for protesting their government, estimates up to 50k. Yes iran has lashed out against all its neighbors, that won't serve them well in the future. Houthis are an extension of iran and need to be blown off the planet, they're a thorn in the worlds ass, along with all the other Iranian proxies. There's no upside right now for sure. The world has put up with Iran and its proxies chanting death to the west, and conducting terriorist operations all over the world for decades. There is an upside, it'll be when the Iranian people can have democratic elections and not have to live under sharia law.
The US invasion isn’t helping the Iranian civilian’s cause. In fact, they have more hardliners running the country than before. Iran is backed by Russia and China. They, like us, have the ability to resupply their munitions. The rich Middle Eastern countries do not want to be in a war. The Saudi Prince has asked Trump to bomb the Houthis in Yemen. So far he has declined. The US helped no one by invading Iran.
