Six months? A month before the midterms you're expecting that the war will be over?
I'm saying not to expect the IRGC to roll over easy. They will hold out until the very last letting people die in the streets while they hang on to every last supply for themselves and that could go on for months. So, if we are going to really invade with ground forces to speed up the process, we should have started that 6 weeks ago right after the bombing campaign before Iran had a chance to regroup and pick up the pieces.
That is unless the Iranian people themselves rise up to overthrow the regime, but these are heavily armed soldiers against defenseless unarmed civilians. 90 million civilians (men, women and children, so maybe 30 million adult men) against maybe 2 million well-armed soldiers.
That too is doable if the Iranians can stomach a few million dead from war. Thing is, the IRGC still have broad communication status among themselves while the population is essentially cut off from any broad communication/internet/etc., in order to organize any large effort.
