Sure, but after they land they’re in the middle of the mountains. Iran is very rugged terrain. Thry can parachute into where they need to be but they’re not going far or getting a supply line.
Any rapid deployed group requires logistics and support to maintain their position.
D-Day succeeded because the airborne troops only had to hold for a few days until the link up with the Normandy beach forces could reach them.
Market garden failed because that linkup failed to reach them. The British in particular lost a lot of troops.
The other 2 gulf wars took months to build up material. I have no idea what build up there is now, but Iran is twice the size of Iraq. Lot of angry people there to greet the US
Ready to jump into a 2000+ meter high mountain range?
If I understand things correctly airborn troops are specialized in mobilizing quickly whether that be literally parachuting or not is different.
