Iran is doing Jack shit to prevent a genocide, they are merely reacting to getting bombed.
OK, let's go one step further: why did Iran get bombed by Israel? Huh, what do you mean Iran consistently opposed the stance, policy and even the existence of the genocidal Zionist entity? Nah, history begins on June 13th, much like it used to begin on Oct. 7th
I mean, basically all resistance to Israeli occupation and genocide in the region is armed by Iran, even without Israeli bombs dropping from the sky. This is, of course, more about the geopolitical rivalry between Iran and Israel than Khomeini's humanitarian sensibilities, but it's still true that a Middle East without an active Iran would be a lot better for Israel and a lot worse for everyone under their thumb.
Edit: And what Israel is trying to accomplish here (and has been trying to accomplish for decades) is defang Iran specifically because Iran is their only major geopolitical adversary. I don't have to like Iran (which I don't, to be clear) to believe that Israel's goals and methods are despicable and hope they fail.
