Because Persians are fighting islam (they're burning down mosques).
and the islamic regime was a sponsor of previous pro-palestine movements.
leftists don't find this an appealing mix. they'd rather blame Israel for everything, but here we see Iranians siding with the Israelis because they've seen what islam does to their country.
I very much doubt they are fighting Islam. Most of them are Muslims. They are fighting fundamentalist Islam. DO you have any evidence they are doing this or "siding with the Israelis"? The fundamentalist Islamist Saudi's seem to get on with Israel fine these days.
I think its simpler. There is no one white involved. What is unique about Israel is that most of its population is white so its an issue worth covering (for people backing either side). The same with Ukraine. On the other hand what happens in Eritrea or Sudan or Myanmar or Xinjiang does not matter.
I'm Persian. most Iranians are NOT muslim; that's what the islamic regime's propaganda has tried to convey for 47 years. if anything, many who were already muslim became atheists after seeing the atrocities of the regime in the past decades.
Iran's population is also overwhelmingly pro-West.
No, according to both Iranian government estimates and the US Department of State, around 99% of the population are Muslim.

This is a straw man in my opinion. But regardless of that, your theory doesn't explain why conservative media isn't really covering this either - The Iran protests haven't exactly been front page material on Fox News or OAN or Breitbart
the conservative media is covering it. Prince Reza Pahlavi (the leader of the revolution) has appeared on Fox several times. Mark Levin, Rep. senators (Graham, etc.) constantly talk about how we should urgently help Iranians in their fight for freedom.
Reza Pahlavi has also had recent interviews with CBS [1], the Economist [2], and CNN [3] (all within the last 30 days). So how is the existence of Reza Pahlavi interviews on Fox evidence that conservative media is covering this issue more than liberal media?
On the topic of Politicians, Democratic congressmen like Dave Min and Jim Hines have also spoken in favor of US intervention in Iran.
