Why do we never learn from history?
Will there still be no possibility of ground deployments?

The previous campaign lasted a whole 13 days and WW3 didn't start. I'm not sure why anybody thinks it'll be different now or why Russia or China would bother going to war for Iran. That makes zero sense.
We did not move 1/3 of operational USAF capacity and 33% of our deployable Navy for limited strikes.
You can stop when you have no idea what you're talking about, you know.
Of course Russia or China won't go to war for Iran - nobody is saying that. They can get involved though, just as Europe is involved in Ukraine war.
One day later and they've doubled their predictions already.

Also you moved the goalposts here. The quote was "no boots on the ground, over in two weeks."
