> There is no scenario that Iran wins a war with the USA.

It actually depends on what the you the outcome of the war to be: total conquest or regime change.

The US can probably achieve total conquest, but not regime change. They spent 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan and left there without winning anything, especially in Afghanistan. If they wanted to erase Iraq and Afghanistan, that would have a been a totally different thing.

The internet never forgets: you go and find the first speech about why the war was started and look at the outcome. You can then judge for yourself if the war was won or lost. Obviously with all its nuances.

Speeches only show projected intent.
