The US was banking on a revolution, which hasn't yet materialized.

A near term power vacuum and civil war might not be unlikely right now. This war started (on purpose) when Iran was the furthest thing from "united".

Presently we are seeing a rally around the flag in vogue in Iran.

They are a civilization going back centuries. No matter their internal fights, they will come together against a common enemy, an enemy for 45 years that is.

I am guessing the IRGC will also be careful enough to not rile up the populace until this war is over.

There is no rally around the flag. Those that hate and fear the regime are not going to join it.

From what I have heard from the ground, regular people are paralyzed with fear/uncertainty and people with power feel like they are dead no matter what.
