By destroying refineries and infrastructure in a country already suffering through water shortages and infrastructure failures, it's easy to see Israel is doing what you say.
It doesn't need to be this way. Without religious fundamentalists in power, and with proper international support, Iran could succeed in ways Iraq could not. But there doesn't seem to be any interest in looking for alternate paths forward. Might makes right, and #### everyone else.

Forty-five years after the revolution in Iran and establishment of the Islamic Republic, 10% of Iranians declare themselves “nonreligious” and 24.1% “moderately religious”; 47% of Iranians do not follow a Shia source of emulation; 45% are either “totally opposed” or “opposed” to the mandatory hijab; and 72.9% of Iranians favor the separation of religion and state. Those are some of the results of a Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance poll that was recently leaked to BBC Persian.

A large majority of Iranians believe their government should abandon calls for Israel’s destruction and pursue direct negotiations with the United States, according to a new poll.
The survey by Gamaan, or the Group for Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in Iran, found 69 per cent of respondents said Iran’s government should drop the slogan calling for Israel’s destruction, which has been a cornerstone of the Islamic Republic’s ideology since the 1979 revolution.
