@skibidist arming the opposition might be a cheaper move that also plays out better after the fall of the regime that's hated by its own people.
But sadly true. If it looks like Iran is going to complete a nuclear bomb the someone should and will probably intervene.
A revolution alone wouldn't solve the problem either because you can't be sure who will be in power afterwards. If a civil war broke out, Israel should probably use that opportunity to do as they did in Syria and destroy the whole Iranian nuclear program.
@NicoMach I think they will keep the part that worked (bombing) and skip the part that didn't (nation-building).
@Shai
US has moved some B-2, and loads of tankers to a front base ( https://www.iranintl.com/en/202503265591 )
Analysts estimate that it cannot be for the houthies that don't need B-2.
