    Iran isn’t Syria. Israel has a vested interest in turning Iran into an ally. They’re far away enough to not be a direct threat, but close and big enough to matter geopolitically. If they can get a friendly regime in place then the power dynamics of the whole region will drastically change in their favor.

    If the regime does really fall then every global and regional power is going to jump in and try their shot at trying to install their favored regime. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, Turkey, Qatar, EU, Israel, US, and hell even India might try to get the most out of the opportunity as the results could be huge.
