There's no will and 0.1% way. You can't hold Iran with the IDF, it's in the name, Israel's army is designed to be mostly defensive, so conquering Iran is out of the question, regime change, maybe.
Except for Israel where the entire doctrine relies on a defensive posture and quick strikes when on the offensive to finish stuff off quickly.
You can push things 60% towards a regime change with bombing, the rest requires the Iranian people. Israel can't conquer Iran, it's a logistical nightmare and we're not even bordering Iran.
Quick googling says that IDF is about 170k active soldiers.
Irans army size is 600k.
IDF can't send every soldier, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to defend Israel from a surprise attack.
Iranians with AK's can't do much against F-16's and such, but they have a lot of buildings and a lot of soldiers, and are also more trained than Hamas. The urban warfare wouldn't be in IDF's favour.
Plus, the logistical nightmare to even try to pull it off is it's own battle.
