Isfahan is in the middle of the country. You can't just drop the 82nd in to seize it because you wouldn't have a way to exfil them. You'd have to drive in from Iraq. We're talking Calvary, Armour, the works.

Its not something you can just send in a Seal team or Delta to do either. Your going to have to take and hold the site with a perimeter and excavate the site to find it buried under the rubble from last summer.

And it would be the same deal as in Iraq. You attract every jihadist in the region who wants to kill some Americans to come.
