Israel eyes regime change in Iran – and is counting on Trump to make it happen

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging the US to take maximalist action against Iran, including regime change, as he believes the current moment presents a unique opportunity due to Iran’s weakened state. Analysts suggest that Netanyahu’s strategy involves allowing the US to lead the military action, given their stronger capabilities and legitimacy. While many in Israel see potential benefits in regime change, there are concerns about the risks of a civil war and the unclear outcome of such an action.
