I doubt Israel could just invade and conquer Iran like that. Having superior equipment is one thing, but actually invading a place will inspire a population to fight against you more than almost anything else, and Iran is a mountainous country that has a population close to 10 times that of Israel. Actually occupying and holding a country like that for any length of time would be a nightmare even for a power like the United States (consider how Afghanistan ended), let alone Israel. They could maybe win a conventional engagement with their superior equipment, sure, and they could do tremendous damage to Iranian infrastructure with bombs or even nukes if they really wanted, but thats not the same as conquering a place.
Foreign invasion tends to cause people to rally around their government, or at least put internal conflicts on the backburner, historically, I’d imagine such a strategy would stand a serious chance of actually preventing any revolution that might otherwise take place.
You really seem to know nothing about the geopolitics of the region. Iranians were put in that position when the regime was much weaker, and everyone united against the invader. Iranians are not likely to welcome anyone who tries to invade as an invasion inevitably massacres civilians, and foreigners killing Iranian civilians won’t be popular with you know, Iranian civilians.

They wouldn’t need to hold it. Iran is already primed for revolution. Just create the power vacuum.

I don’t see the younger generation of Iran, which was brutally put down over the Hijab protests, coalescing behind their terrorist government.
