Actually, we know where all of their nuclear facilities are, hell, you can even bring up most of that information on fas.org so it would be rather easy to strike at the facilities quickly, plus, spotting silos and SCUDs is easy. It's not as hard as you think it is. The DoD even has a plan on file for invading Iran, and it's first operation is striking at the facilities, and seeing where SCUDs and missiles are and taking those out. The next step is establishing beach heads with amphibious landings from the Persian Gulf. Tricky thing is getting tanks and conventionals up on the elevated landscape, a little less harder than Afghanistan though.
Edit: I did laugh at that Poland comment though.
