Iran has a choice:
1) be like Libya
2) be like North Korea.
And it is better to be like North Korea rather than having the fate of Qaddafi and Libya.
First they will demand to give up uranium enrichment and if Iran accepts it they will put pressure and demand Iran to give up its ballistic missile program and after this, when Iran is demilitarized, they will seek regime change and dismantling of Iran across ethnic lines.
Winston Churchill said: "You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war. "
Iran should not choose dishonour because if it does, eventually it will have war and the fate of Libya.
Iran should not negotiate with US after what has happened.
Iran should use its 408kg HEU and convert it to bombs as fast as possible in Fordow or through moving advanced centrifuges to other undeclared sites.
If US starts bombing Iran they can do enormous damage to Iran's economy and infrastructure rolling back Iran's economy by 10-15 years.
But in the end Iran will survive and remain
independent, nuclear armed and capable of defending itself (like North Korea).
And Iran's response in the Strait of Hormuz and against Persian Gulf oil infrastructure will do enormous damage to US and EU and roll back their economies by 3-5 years with the West suffering
trillions of dollars of damage. If they are ready to accept it then so be it.
The war with Iran will be the end of the American superpower.
This is AI estimate of damage from the full-scale war between Iran and US with US conducting Iraq1991 style bombing campaign against Iran, while Iran destroying Persian Gulf oil infrastructure and closing the Strait of Hormuz for 8 months.

And assuming Iran destroys Persian Gulf oil infrastructure, this is the time needed to rebuild it:
