It's four times larger than Iraq, with a much tougher terrain and they've been setting up militarily independent regions for the last 40 years specifically in case this would happen. The current operation at week 1 has already a worse public approval than the Vietnam war after 5 years of american dying in ground operations.

I'd love if they went in because it would precipitate the end the US empire by a good decade

Do you have a source for this? Numbers I find online vary wildly.

Edit: I found Al Jazeera was the one saying what you said, but I can't classify them as objective and accurate in this case, sorry.

If the war with Iran is indeed that unpopular we'll see at the midterms.

You can count Al Jazeera as objective and accurate, they have no interest in Iran's regime ruining the country anymore. Qatar just intercepted a bunch of Iranian missiles.
