boots on the ground in Iran is science fiction, get real please.
Why is it science fiction? It might not be a good idea. It might not succeed. But it can be done.

What would a land invasion of Iran look like?

Do you see the US alone, led by the least popular president ever in the history of the country and without the support of its allies (Europe didnt even allow US fighters to refuel in march) launch an invasion of Iran, a 90 million people country?
To do what? To achieve which objective?
20 years of war in the middle east after 9/11 and the talibans are back into power in Afghanistan.

It is certainly possible, but not probable...
POTUS just has to create another 11S, another WMD or another Tonkin (or Maine); a Congress happy to accommodate and... Done! It happened before, it will happen again.
Iran or Yemen?
After Iraq, US may need a 10 year campaign to sell a 10 or 20 years (failed) war in Iran. In Yemen, they may get an easy one year "mission accomplished" and then hand over the mess to Saudi Arabia's puppets who may need 10 years to lose again.
I wonder if Trump would win the midterm elections with that, how many dead civilians?
