Is the Iranian government so delusional that they think they can take on the US in a war?

Maybe they think they have a shot at bogging us down in a messy, asymmetrical conflict where they can slowly bleed us as our politicians prioritize short-term political wins over any coherent war strategy. And over time, public support turns against our involvement due to years of slow bleed and the lack of a coherent strategy despite us inflicting devastating, lopsided casualties on them the entire time.

I know it sounds ludicrous, but it’s a possibility.
