If he does, the american army will get a massive ass-whupping. The Iranian army is prepared, well funded and cohesive, the will of the international community is not on the US side (as in Iraq). The sheer bad-will of the entire muslim and arab world will be directed against the US, and would probably start world war three at worst, and at best would unite the middle eastern states in a bloody and vengeful war against america.
