I can see a possible holding of Tehran and air space above Iran but as a way to affect change it won't happen, they can just move the government until gorillas activity forces the US to leave.

There's a very good reason no one went toe to toe with them in a local conflict.

Guerillas. Gorillas are the apes.

Also, they have developed a whole mosaic defense strategy to decentralize command specifically to prevent the possibility of any sort of decapitation strike https://www.palestinechronicle.com/explainer-what-is-irans-mosaic-defense-strategy/
