why would they want the US regime to change? It's a poor long term strategy, you want the useless idiots to ruin their country, not have them replaced by competent people.

I think they would prefer people who weren't bombing their country with Israel.

Have you read history? Authoritarian places need external enemies to rally people behind so that the population will ignore whatever bullshit they do to exploit and abuse them. The only rule is "don't be the one to lose". As long as the theocracy does not surrender, they are winning.

See also : The US after 9/11. We're STILL dealing with the fucking bullshit fallout from that.

Dude, they're continuing to kill school children. 911 was a one off that made everyone scared. Scared, yes. Bombing the shit out of your citizens, no.

Who would that be? The Haudenoshaunee? The US has been bombing Iran at least since there has been an Israel.

Well to not get bombed, naturally. The uselessness of said idiots does not have an impact on the fact that the bombs are actively landing on Iran

It's entirely reasonable to believe that it is more likely that a new administration would take the chance to end the war than the current one is to make America incapable of bombing Iran on a reasonable timeline

Of course, that assumes that Iran thinks that this would work at all. They might make the full release of the files a condition to open the strait, but America would then just say "well we already released them so that won't work as a deal" and rely on the current administrations cultish supporters to believe that
