If this was well thought out, this administration would have made sure an evacuation plan would have been in place, additional allied militaries would have been secured and ready to go, and any invasion force would have been prepared and moving in once enemy troops were neutralized.

None of this was in place. And it appears Iran is still capable of launching barrages of drones almost a week after this “war” started. If this keeps up for weeks or months and shipping continues to be restricted there’s going to be a lot of angry desperate countries that will have run out of patience with us.
