Iran/US conflict

Dumb question. Why don't we just female dog slap these guys, like we did to the Libyans in the mid-1980s or the Serbs during Kosovo?

Are they: Too powerful?
Too psychotic?
They will escalate it more?

Are we:
Too weak to really do anything?
No will?
Too politically divided?

Now that I think about it, what would happen if we treated them like the Serbs during Kosovo? Limited air campaign and bomb the poop out of their navy. No need to invade or full on ground war, treat them like school yard bully and give them a good punch in the nose. Pre snowflake and millennial days, when you could fight at school w/o having a news crew show up.
