That’s what Israel wants. They want Iran to get pulled in and then further justify asking the West for more military aid and “support” to launch another “war” in it’s “defense”. Fucking terrorist regime in power unfortunately for Palestinians and Israelis.
Iran literally funds terrorists and advocates for the destruction of Israel
Israel could invade and conquer Iran tomorrow and they have not.
Iran’s military is as much a bungling shit-show as Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. There is no universe in which Israel needs US help to shatter Iran.
Last time Iran even got close to enriching weapons-grade uranium, Israel launched airstrikes and flattened the plant, completely uncontested and without any reprisal from Iran, who knows they can’t win.
I doubt Israel could just invade and conquer Iran like that. Having superior equipment is one thing, but actually invading a place will inspire a population to fight against you more than almost anything else, and Iran is a mountainous country that has a population close to 10 times that of Israel. Actually occupying and holding a country like that for any length of time would be a nightmare even for a power like the United States (consider how Afghanistan ended), let alone Israel. They could maybe win a conventional engagement with their superior equipment, sure, and they could do tremendous damage to Iranian infrastructure with bombs or even nukes if they really wanted, but thats not the same as conquering a place.
Foreign invasion tends to cause people to rally around their government, or at least put internal conflicts on the backburner, historically, I’d imagine such a strategy would stand a serious chance of actually preventing any revolution that might otherwise take place.

They wouldn’t need to hold it. Iran is already primed for revolution. Just create the power vacuum.

I don’t see the younger generation of Iran, which was brutally put down over the Hijab protests, coalescing behind their terrorist government.
