North Vietnam possessed a capable guerilla airforce and air defenses that gave the US military pause about carefree bombing runs, whereas the US air force has been operating over Iran with impunity after 3 days of targeted attacks. A real invasion of Iran would involve heavy tactical air bombardment to neutralize Iranian artillery - the initial results of the war show that this is effective, if nothing else.

Is that really practical, even if the US has to fly in from outside the region using strato-tankers (wish this unit was in TBS 4x) assuming the airfields in the region are too bombarded?
