It would certainly slow things down and buy everyone more time, but that's still a tricky situation. I agree that the outcome is not so guaranteed (and I say that as someone who has several friends from/in Iran, who do not support the regime there nor bear much ill will towards Israel), but there is always a chance that it will be replaced by an element no less aggressive and dangerous. In particular, the military, or rather the Republican Guard, have been coming to the forefront in Iran. It is conceivable that they might have an agenda that's quite different from the current theocracy... but then does an Iran run by a military dictatorship a better alternative? It may make Israel safer than now, but on the other hand the rest of the region would probably be worse off for it.
