The IRGC are fighting on home soil with home support and logistics. The USA is invading Iran and fighting a war thousands of miles away from home, with aircraft carriers unable to project the kind of power as in the past. Iran has vowed to take out the Abraham Lincoln if it comes within range. Now countries are even refusing to host USA military logistics for striking Iran. They saw what happened to the Gulf countries that did the hosting and now suffering the consequences. That alone tells us who is on the upper hand.
Moreover, the USA now has little support unlike in Vietnam, and countries are wary of a long war of attrition that is going to crash their economy. What can the USA hope to achieve, let us say, if they can occupy all of Iran. The USA needs to keep a massive force trying to hold on to a huge country like Iran, while those Iranians left to fight another day are intent on fighting a guerilla war instead. As if the USA's 20 long years of experience in Afghanistan is not enough and Trump thinks he can achieve something better with Iran. He is absolutely delusional and probably realizing he has no off-ramp moves left to save his huge mistake of underestimating Iran.
