My two cents –
Officialy This is not a problem for visiting Iran nor for getting a visa.
Strangely enough – AFAIK Officialy there is no problem to enter Iran with an Israeli passport.
Unofficialy ( and my own opinion ) – better not to have any of this evidence and just get a new passport – not only for the sake of the visa application but for the whole journey where you will usually need to present your passport in multiple locations and can never predict thee reations.
According to 6. Passport requirements at Magic Carpet Travel.
If you have Israeli or USA visa stamps in your passport, contrary to
popular belief, this will not jeopardize your application for an
Iranian visa
I did get a VISA granted.
This is not true as a general rule of Iran. This seems more like propaganda against Iran.
Anyone wanting to travel to Iran should first apply for a visa in any Iranian embassy. If the applicant has visited Israel before, there will not be a default reason for refusing – but it depends on the case. Each case will be checked individually and if there is any problem, it will be refused. Otherwise the visa will be issued.
Anyway, no official rule exists about this and everything depends per case.

The reasons for refusal can be, for example, relating to spying or terrorism like terrorizing different Iranian scientists like this:

I can’t really answer your question, but if I were you I would definitely get a new passport before applying for the visa. These kind of things are often handled by the local officer and no-one will give you any guarantees that you will be admitted to the country even if you have a valid visa and a letter from the embassy.
