Iran is not trying to "destroy the jewish people". You are on the thin ice of racism yourself by denoting that Iran, an entire country, is secretly plotting the destruction of jews.
This is not true, was not true and will never be true. There are other reasons why you do not get along with your neighbours and I am sure that you are well aware of this (It started after the end of WW2, you're a historian so you should know better than me, eh?). Please do not hide under the (seemingly, but not) bulletproof phrase of "tried to destroy the jewish people".
Do you feel yourself entitled to destroy entire nations by declaring that they "tried to destroy the jewish people"?
Please reconsider your position.
Kind Regards,
Andras
