The reason there is a conflict at all is that the Iranian regime believes it is their religious duty to destroy the state of Israel. This is why they arm any group willing and able to attack Israel, and will continue to do so, and they cannot be negotiated with on this because they see it as a religious imperative.

Conversely there is no religious reason for anyone in Israel or the US to attack Iran, independently of the belief that they should defend Israel.

israel's whole existance is based on the idea that they are gods chosen people and god promised them that land, and they must defend it or it dishonors him.

going by project 2025, theres a very significant and influential portion of the american conservative sphere that is pants on head evangelical. and the idea of supporting israel as their christian duty is a huge part of that

lets not pretend this isnt the crusades with nukes. all parties here are operating on barbaric political principles

If you consider israel to be the good guy, you should win the Olympics of mental gymnastics.
