And Iran is also 74 times the area of Israel, 3.7 times of Iraq, 9 times that of Syria, 164 times that of Lebanon.
If US/Israel bomb Iran enough for the regime to collapse, so much room for ISIS/ISIL and new groups to come to power... Turning Iran into another Syria would be a very big mistake.
Syria is also still a long way from progress. It's great Assad is gone but the fighting goes on, internally and with Israeli bombings. The West doesn't want Syria to succeed, a power vacuum in Iran would be no different. Factions in Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan will all be making their moves on the borders.
But that's exactly what Netanyahu wants with his 'altering the power balance' in the ME. Make the whole region unstable and in perpetual civil war so Israel can do whatever it wants and chip away at the greater Israel Zionist ideal.
