Those numbers at most would be suitable for taking a small island such as Kharg if he desperately wants a media victory.
But that would be another gigantic mistake and suicide for all of them since they are sitting ducks for Iranian artillery and missiles.
There's no way they will be taken out to make it safe.
Going into Iran itself is totally out of the question, it would take 2 million and a shitton of weapons of every kind.
They already can't keep up with this situation and having all their bases and radars in all the vassal states destroyed.
Guaranteed defeat and 100000's of dead invaders.
