At this point, they'd have to leave the whole region. I don't see why Iran would stop when they're winning.

because of it's people: the iranian leaders give a fuck about its people whereas the western leader do not give a fuck about its people. things will get worse for both groups and only the iranians have leaders who care at all.

If Iran is defeated it will be a complete disaster for the people there. Just look at Libya or Syria as examples. That's what the people are facing. This is an existential war against extermination for them.
