Correction, that is not Israel’s goal. Israel’s goal is to expand their own territory, and it should never be allowed.

If Israel’s goal was the collapse of the Iranian state then that would be admirable because it’s a horrible fucking state. But, again, it is not.

A failed state doesn’t just imply the fall of a government, it refers to a degradation of the conditions of a country such that effective governance by anyone is impossible for a period. Think like has happened in Somalia, or Haiti. I’m not going to claim that the Iranian government is a particularly admirable one, but that kind of condition would be even worse for the people living there, and the chances of that process resting in something significantly better when the country finally recovers again aren’t terribly high.

TBH I think even total anarchy, with roving bands of raiders, might be better than a country that wages war on every neighbor and kills thousands of protestors in a short time period. The fact that they ally themselves with China is just more on the pile.

bombing this institute solves anything how exactly?

You’re arguing with a strawman on that one.

no I’m advocating that attacking institutions of medicine and science runs counter to actually improving anything you claim to care about

these were the people least likely to be a party to the actual Iranian atrocities

i can’t tell if you are just arguing in bad faith, some kid inheriting beliefs from older family members or just not too bright
