I think and hope its just empty rhetoric from Trump as it would cause a lot of problems for just about everybody, especially in the west and the MR. They can stomp Iran sure, but occupying it would be bloody difficult and cost as well as probably tying up much of the US military for years. Not to mention the probable hostile reaction in Russia and a number of Muslim states. [Some might be happy to see Iran taken down a lot, including Saudi but they may not be willing to have that as a public stance and you can expect a lot more terrorism as well].
