Before Gulf Invasion I, Iraq had an army, navy and air force. (Granted not much navy.) That didn't take too long to take apart. I think you are practicing wishful thinking. The US air force can now be based in Iraq and Afghanistan, even if (and I doubt it) Iran could sink a carrier. Iran would have to be exceptionally lucky to win the air or sea battle. Only if they could win those two would an invasion by their army be feasible.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Iranian military strength is the reason there has not yet been an attack. If that is the reason the US has not yet attacked then there will be no invasion.

All that is lacking for the attack is a premise and some PR. Both of which are in the mix.
