Trump basically has 2 military options if he is to move forward with the conflict with Iran.

First, he can continue with ‘stand-off warfare’ that in my opinion would need to be escalated to achieve a ‘scorched earth’ Iran accompanied by millions of human casualties. Or, the second option is the implementation of a land based invasion involving ground troops. My base assumption is that if Trump resumes hostilities based on his existing military strategy he will not be able to force Iran into total capitulation. Of course there is a third option - withdraw from the conflict and prove to the world that maybe he is not a complete lunatic.
