A long-running guerrilla warfare, especially in a rugged terrain like Iran can be extremely damaging to the Americans. But I hope that will never happen. The Americans were taught a lesson in Iraq. They will think twice before invading Iran.
Where in Iran's rugged terrain? There all open. I am sure that they will not last longer than one month. For Americans, this is not a rival. All Muslims can only fight like cowards from ambush.
Spoken like a true Neocon. That is to say, someone with zero military experience, zero concern for those who have, and zero consideration about what is good for the United States so long as an action is perceived to promote other goals and/or make them and their friends rich.
I guarantee that it will take longer than 'one month' even if we nuked the place first. In fact I'm not at all convinced that 'we' would win. Such an action would, however, delight those who would like to see the U.S. degraded (and collapsed when the time is right) so it doesn't compete with a more 'global' form of governance.
