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?

Fair points, I thought of the UN mostly because of a scenario where the US "forces" their allies to actually help via UN resolutions, although I'm probably giving that path more credit than ot deserves.

If the US controls the narrative, they can declare the war over right? Considering a lot of people think Gaza is over just because it has been censored pretty effectively at this point.
