Not enough manpower?
Just use the Airforce and the Navy. They aren't doing anything important at the moment like the Army. Remember "Shock and Awe"... that didn't require thousands of infantry. Just bomb them, it's that simple. If you are right and Iranians are intelligent and educated then they won't be hanging around outside reactor sites while the bombing is in progress. And no children should be working to purify weapons grade plutonium so that won't be a problem either.
As for their SAM systems, you play too much Lock On. They are crud and could be neutralised in about an hour with a concerted effort.
I am not overly worried about their "huge" fleet of dangerous submarines (3). They probably don't know how to use them as the instructions will be in Russian and all that singing underwater 5 times a day would be easy to pick up on sonar.
I agree with you in that there is not enough manpower for a regime change, so just fortify the boarder a bit.
The most important thing is to stop a nation of terrorists getting nukiller weapons. We must act now before it's too late.
