It benefits from fractured countries like Syria and Lebanon and would prefer Iran destabilized rather than just denuclearized.

They aim for chaos, not just denuclearization.
At this point, what can Iran do to get the upper hand in this conflict?
Unlike some members of the Iranian diaspora, I don't think that changing the regime would be enough for Israel. They are clearly aiming for one of two outcomes:
a. endless, paralyzing civil war or
b. fragmentation of the country
In my opinion, their ideal situation would be a regime change along with balkanization of the Iranian territory.
What - besides building the bomb - could Iran do to avoid these scenarios (realistically)?
