Look at the photographs of German cities after WWII. Berlin was reduced to rubble by air attacks. And yet it required the Red Army to finally seal the deal, and drive a stake through its heart.

Iran is in a different category than Nazi Germany because there is evidently a large rebel sentiment within Iran. Nevertheless, your point is a good one.

There’s got be lots and lots of well-armed regime loyalists under shelter, just waiting for the bombs to stop falling. And the bombs will eventually stop falling.

Then what?

The Nazis still had support of a large swathe of the German population.

The Ayatollahs have been cracking down and executing iranians. The Ayatollahs regime have the support of at most 20% of the population, but they have a monopoly on violence and weapons

With all due respect to Matt Bracken, how many troops did Ayatollah Khomeni have when he took over Iran the 1970s
