Is the U.S. Military Considering an Amphibious Assault Against Iran?
Warrior Maven
 

By Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest

One of the greatest truisms of life is that land wars in Asia are futile. The continent’s vastness allows defenders to trade space for time, extending the logistical lifelines of invaders to the breaking point. This argument holds for Iran, which at a population of one quarter that of the United States and the size of the West Coast is too large for even the largest of modern armies to occupy. But what about an amphibious raid against select targets on Iran’s coastline? Military action against the Islamic Republic is by no means imminent or even on the horizon, but it’s important for the public to understand the tools the Pentagon—and the White House—believe they have in their toolboxes.

Asian Land Wars were hardly futile if you were Alexander the Great!!!
Anyway, there is  hardly any need as Iran is w/o a competent Navy and Air Force!!!
