Iran's actually pretty chill with Jews, just not Zionists. Although Shah Pahlavi was fine with Israel, I'm not sure that there'd be popular support for Israel now (even if there was an Iranian regime change, Israel was still pretty nasty to Iran and vice versa) unless they maybe compromised and accepted a two-state solution and probably some hardcore apologies. Benjie Netanyahu isn't probably going to do either of those things, but a new prime minister would.

After all, it takes a while to forget remarks like: "I will wipe Israel off the face of the Earth in nuclear fire."
