I can very easily imagine a US led action that destroyed Iran's naval and air forces in very short order, without a single boot on the ground, ever. I don't know if I support such action, or if it would have the desired outcome, but I do know portraying the only options as "no military action" or "full scale armored ground invasion" is just not correct.

In order to have no repercussions from Iran, we'd have to know every detail of their armaments and organize to take them out roughly at the same time. If we fail, they hit back. Even if we succeed, that may garner sympathy from nations friendly to them, who may supply arms, that's really hard to forsee. And even if we did that, how many civilians do they have working in or surrounding the facilities we'd need to target?
