A million men wouldn’t be nearly enough. Iran had around a million men in their army before the war. The Sâzmân-e Basij-e Mostaz’afin is a 25 million strong paramilitary organization with another 600k men ready for deployment. Who knows how many men they could have in the time it took usa to organize a million men and logistic support.
The country is like a natural fortress and Iran would be fighting like Hezbollah does. Ambushes and small unit tactics with drone and short range missile strikes that usa has next to no experience against. They wouldn’t get past the welcome mat.
Plus those troops would be having an actual will to fight unlike the American ones and I doubt the American troops happen to have any eagerness for martyrdom. Besides, Iran would definitely have an even bigger fighting force considering Shia Muslims (and even some Sunni Muslims) from Pakistan and Afghanistan might sneak in to fight beside Iranians. Same for the Iraqis.
