If the US invades Iran they wont be planning on occupying much, it will be an utter destruction of Iran's military and economic base in the first week, mostly from the air, bridges, roads, transportation etc followed by a quick push through to the oil regions to block the wells and destroy the oil infrastructure and nuclear and then out,
I doubt there'd be a US soldier in the country after a month, the idea would be to destroy the country economically for a decade or more, not occupy
