In no way, shape, or form does not supporting the regime mean that Iranians support Israel and their oppression of Palestinians, or would support Israel and the US carrying out that regime change.
Iranians are against the west continuing to influence politics within Iran, and would not be happy to see a war or invasion from the US or Israel, even if it means the toppling of the government. That means dead Iranians at the hands of the west, which is untenable for the people.
Iranians don’t forget the meddling that the US has done in Iran, whether that be the coup to replace a democratically elected leader back with the Shah, who was friendly with the US, or the US feeding weapons to Iraq during the Iran/Iraq war, and turning a complete blind eye when Saddam used chemical weapons against the Iranians.
Put very simply, I don’t know a single Iranian who would be happy with Israel or the US doing anything domestically in Iran.
