From the standpoint of the US/Israel, the closest thing to victory might be collapsing Iran into ethnic balkanisation and a failed state — to destroy Iran a a nation — with catastrophic consequences
Looking at our experience in the past, your last sentence is correct: "death and destruction as a strategic goal in itself."
That was the goal during pandemic terror. That is the goal in the war on Russia and Malorossia in Ukraine.
That was the goal in Gaza.
The thing is, chaos and death are needed to secure State of Exception and a permanent war. Which brings enormous profits, inflates weapon industry, facilitates sex trafficking, human trafficking, criminal cartels, terrorism and arming terrorists (by Israel and the US/UK) - and most importantly gives endless opportunities in building a digital prison for the whole humanity.
So yes, as the saying goes, "In every war, Israel is on the side of war".
They will not succeed in balkanising Iran. It is a civilisational nation-state that is not founded on ethnicity, a bit like Afghanistan (Afghans are overwhelmingly Persian). It's been like that for 1,400 years — and possibly more, if one ponders that the Persian imperial army did treat all non-Persian soldiers equally.
"As Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute explained in the New York Times, it is virtually impossible to imagine a credible leader who would ever accept the 360-degree shift in Iran’s orientation demanded by the US and Israel"
You have just made a Baerbock. Should be 180-degree.
I have said for years that the, freedom eagle flag bullshit aside, the real goal of the United States and Israel was to turn Iran into a failed state, much like Iraq, Libya and Syria.

That is why Iran is fighting for us all.
Great comment, Lena, thank you.
"Death and Distruction" is the USAs mottos apparatus

Dividing Iran along ethnic lines is a pipe dream.
Pretty much everyone in Libya was a Sunni Muslim Arab. It didn't matter - Libya still was turned into a failed state.
Iran is not Syria.
Nobody said it was.
Yes you did because you compared the was of Iran with Lybia.
No, I did not. Libya isn't Syria, either. It doesn't matter - the result was the same.
