IIS redirect a subdirectory to a root-level directory with the same name

I want to setup a redirect in IIS that redirects all multi-level URLs on my site that end in /blog to a root-level subdirectory called /blog. For example, https://www.example.com/sub1/sub2/blog would redirect to https://www.example.com/blog.

I wrote the following regex pattern:

blog/?$

The problem is that while this does match https://www.example.com/sub1/sub2/blog, it also matches https://www.example.com/blog, which is itself the URL I'm redirecting to. Therefore, hitting /sub1/sub2/blog redirects to /blog, which itself matches and redirects to /blog, etc., causing it to get stuck in a loop redirecting to itself.

How do I write the regex pattern so that a multi-level URL that ends in /blog will redirect to the root-level /blog page, without the root-level page itself matching?

Please try this 

 <rule name="rewrite rule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/(.+)/blog/?$" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/blog" redirectType="Temporary" />
                </rule>

Or you can whitlist 

  <rule name="rewrite rule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="blog/?$" />
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/blog/?$" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/blog" redirectType="Temporary" />
                </rule>
