Is the Iran regime bad? Yes. Are they colonial outpost that is actively committing genocide? No. Are the Iranian people settlers like the Israelis? No.
Who is dragging the US into war with Iran and potentially WW3? Israel.
Does this help maybe?
But Israel is not expanding into Iran or bombing civilian areas (yet). If we're purely talking about Israel - Iran conflict, you have to do some serious brain gymnastics to wish for IRGC to win. Best outcome here is the fall of Iranian islamic regime and people can take back their freedom
I have no clue how much this will hurt Israel, but I have my doubts the pain will be big.

Gonna ask for a more credible source on those numbers. That website is basically yellow press of Iranian state media
We have entered the "Ok so they are bombing civilian areas but its not that bad" stage of denial.
Dude, they build weapon factories in civilian areas. They are not bombing civilian areas, civilian areas are collateral damage because of typical islamic state choices when it comes to military object locations. The drone factory they blew up yesterday was literally next to a hospital. Are you now going to send me news saying 'Israel targets Iranian hospitals"?
They targetted the homes of the scientists, residential buildings with a dozen other families. Not a military site anywhere close.
Also
is just hasbara
Israel literally bombed apartment complex with scientists as part of their unprovoked attacks.
A change of regime in Iran is the wet dream of Netanyahu. Just this should tell you how bad of a thing it is.
You need to read a bit on Libya and Syria, the gracious interventions by the west did NOT result in a blossoming LGTPDASODNA+ democracy haven.
You have to do at least as much gymnastics to ignore the context surrounding this conflict though.
Nuclear weapons?
