Imagine if Iran nuked Washington DC, or even every American city with a population over 1 million. Would the US government surrender? Would the American people surrender even if the government did?

I imagine the US government would retreat to its mountain bunkers and say "come and get it", and many American civilians would join or support guerillas to fight any Iranian attempt at occupation. And that's true despite many Americans hating the current regime.

So why would the Iranian government or its people be any different?
