I hope Iran crushes them personally.

Irans leadership are also genocidal religious nationalists. If Israels gonna start a war with them, I hope they collapse the Iranian dictatorship and the people who've been protesting the last few years use the opportunity to seize power. Unlikely, but that'd be best case scenario out of war.

Iran is certainly religious, nationalist and tyrannical, but I've never heard of them being genocidal.

Two overly religious countries killing each other? Sounds like gods plan to me.

I love it when horrible people kill each other.

Both siders out in full force again.

There are usually innocent people in between.

That's always true. But if they distract each other from committing genocide and helping Russia, respectively, the world may be generally better off, especially long-term.
