TBH Netanyahu doing it would be more accurate. Pretty sure the Iranians don’t like being bombed, even the depraved IRGC, but they won’t agree to a peace deal with the USA while Israel continues to wage war on them.
This is because the reality in the region is that the US is assisting Israel in a war of territorial expansion that involves all of those countries. Iran knows that it’s not enough to merely convince the west to stop attacking just them, because they know that this alone does not cease Israel’s lebenstraum. If Palestine and Lebanon fall then Syria and Iraq are next, and that means doom for Iran.
