Why Can't the U.S. Build Ships?

You might benefit from looking at a map of Iran at some point. You’ll be surprised to learn that it’s not actually bordering Israel. A ground invasion isn’t possible without going through other countries and a water invasion would take forever and and be impractical.

The US can have approximately 10,000 troops deployed just about anywhere within a week.

You won’t be landing 10000 troops in Israel unless they are invited. You could maybe land 10k in Iran but the country is so large and the terrain unfavorable that you would need at least 10x

Iran isn't the US. Also, 10,000 troops isn't going to be anywhere near enough to take on Israel.

I was thinking of the US going after Iran.
