Iranian here, no we don't want Israel and United States to bomb our children to "free us".

We already have 90M intelligent people in the country and can figure it out eventually.

We still has ways to go to develop, IRAN lacks some women's rights (however it's not as bad as people make it to be) and freedom of speech (similar to other Gulf nations). Most people have major grievances regarding the economy.

After the uprising of "Woman, Life, Freedom" in 2022, followed by the Mahsa uprising, the government started to loosen the Hijab laws for example. They stopped enforcing it severely (though they can change it at any time), the clerics have realized that theocratic laws will backfire with young people. I think the future of Iran is going to look like other nations, where religion becomes a "cultural thing".

The biggest blockers at the moment are sanctions and the ongoing issues with Israel.

We've survived for 3,000 years, we can survive for another 3,000 years without the help of US.
