They definitely can defeat US intervention and cause a lot of damage to their position in the middle east, but I keep mulling over what they can win. They can certainly force them to abandon some bases closer to them and maybe even keep a toll of some kind of the strait, but I don't think it's realistic to expect to force the US to abandon the middle east and even Israel. At that point they'd need to actually move troops or something to do that, which isn't realistic.

Maybe just force them to give up sanctions? And make the bomb?

It would yeah. It may not be achievable but it is the way that Iran wins. The other gulf states will trade in whatever currency is required to get their oil out. Right now they're holding on but they can't hold on forever. It's a war of attrition and Iran wins if they don't break first
