This is what scares me the most. The US is losing badly at galvanizing the Iranian populace against continued conflict and for regime change, which is where the US needed to be winning the most. The only action I could even fathom that would generally change the mood at this point is some kind of mass casualty event, like you're also suggesting. What scares me the most is that we both know it has at the very least been considered in US military strategy by now. Tons of high ranking military firings and resignations in the past few weeks really chills me to the bone as to why. I can only imagine it's about an invasion or nukes.
