The US military isn't something to be trifled with. They gained a lot of intelligence in the last month. They'd be backing off if there wasn't a genuine threat that they could bring to the region. They're not going to be able to occupy Iran by any means, but the damage they could inflict is considerable. They're clearly boiling the frog on the blockage. Unless Iran sinks an aircraft carrier in the first few waves, I fear that Iran will suffer incredible losses once the ceasefire breaks, since the entire point of the ceasefire has clearly been to advance the imperialist position without resistance

Iran has grown stronger with every US aggression and they have gain as much intelligence as you suggest the arrogant yankees did.

There are a lot of people with expectations of what Iran must and must not do. However, I tell you that Iran is the one in the front seat and they are aware of the information that we have been able to uncover. I trust that they will choose the decisions that will lead them to victory as proven so far.

I hope that people stop underestimating Iran's capabilities to resist. Just like Qalibaf said:

We will undoubtedly be superior on the battlefield, and that’s why Trump is calling for a ceasefire. They expected to distract us from our western borders and said they had provided weapons, but no matter what they did, they didn’t succeed.

They tried to provoke internal chaos but failed. They decided to launch a ground attack but didn’t succeed.

Trump called on NATO to participate in opening the Strait of Hormuz, but no one responded. It’s clear that we are the victors in the war.
