Several lifetimes, because it would not be won by set battles and with high-tech gadgets and "smart" weapons. The next World War, in fact, which an attack on Iran could start, will not be won on the battlefield at all, but in the arena of world economics. And if you can't understand how that could happen, you're not ready to face the real world.

10 minutes. No president is going to fight a conventional war any more. It costs too much money for the government and if it costs more than 200 lives half the country will say it's not worth it. Iran will be nuked.

The answer to that question depends upon several things. First, is the military going to fight the war, or is Congress? If it is going to be run by Congress, then there is no reason to start, because we lose. It also depends upon the weapons used. If I were in charge of the war, it would be over in just a few minutes. Just long enough for the mushroom cloud to dissipate.

If the US used nukes unconditionally and without regard to civilian casualties - about an hour or so.
If its was restricted to conventional means with our current forces - the US would lose.
If we re instituted the draft, and mobilized like the US did during WWII - it would take a year or three at most, and in the process the US could really take out the entire middle east...
So depends.

In Iran they have groups of people who oppose Islamic dictatorship if allied with them faster. Most Iranians have housing that crumbles in 3.2 scale earthquake.
The war might be long for one reason we will be fighting terrorists. Against conventional Iranian army we will lick them in months even sooner. Against the terrorrists we will be fighting for a very long time.

No way of knowing.
Democrats are going to support Iran.
SO, our country will be divided, as usual.
