I was born in '76, hence my username. I remember asking my parents why the TV kept talking about sausages."Not sausages, hostages." "Then what's a hostage?" Iran has been treating us like crap for nearly my entire life, so I support seeing their leadership get destroyed regardless of it benefitting Israel.

The CIA tried to install Mosaddeck as PM of Iran, but he turned out to be a real asshole, so Iran got rid of him and reinstated the Shah. The CIA tried to take credit for this, but they were a part of the problem. Then later the CIA put Ayatollah Khomeini or however you spell his shithead name these days to depose the shah. I thnk American, Israeli, and British intelligence had much to gain from having that psychopath in charge of Iran. He could be a perpetual boogeyman to scare people with, making a reason to grab more money and toss at him while the Iranian people suffered and politicians and such profited from it. Iran took several more Americans hostage while Biden was president too. Not only that, but they have been causing plenty of problems with their neighbors like KSA too, funding terrorists in Yemen to fight them and such.

So Iran has been at war with the USA for quite a while. The way I see it, I would think that having them around for Israel to bitch about would be more to their benefit and to keep the charade going. Obama and Biden sent tons of money to Iran, while Trump kept striking off their multiple, evil heads. And now finally Khomeni is gone. I'm glad. I think Israel just wanted to keep military operations going in Iran, but not do a thing to Khomeni. So now, whatever Israel thinks they can gain with Khomeni gone, I hope they do not get it.
