They wouldn't be giving "stern messages" if they wanted to go in on the ground. Clearly, they are afraid of carrying our a ground op and are using threats to force Iran to back down and hence find a way out of this mess.
Iran should call their bluff and say - go on then, send your troops in.
A repulsed assault is Iran's best (arguably, their only) way to force a clear and quick victory.
The cost is so far an assumption and therefore an unknown variable. Since this is an illegal war, they're hard pressed both militarily and economically. Bluster becomes a face saver or an unwanted escalation.
