forgot to answer your first question about whether it is a fact that Iran wanted to destroy Israel
well true that a doomsday clock in Tehran counting down to the destruction of Israel may not have meant anything. Nor might funding proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis all of whom have openly declared they are there to destroy Israel might mean anything. Nor repeatedly releasing videos vowing to destroy Israel. Nor calling for death to Israel in their parliament
yes it is possible that these acts were just a show and Iran was really sweetness and light towards Israel. I just find that a bit hard to buy. It’s been going on for decades
