Israel’s clear war aim in Iran: Regime change amid continuing bombings

Israel, in collaboration with the United States, is continuing its joint attack on Iran with the goal of bringing about regime change from within. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow their government, following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While many Israelis support the war and hope for regime change in Iran, there is uncertainty about the ultimate goals of Israeli leaders. Some believe Israel is more interested in causing Iran to collapse as a state rather than achieving a smooth regime change. However, the duration of the war may not be entirely up to Israel, as support for the conflict is waning in the US and among US allies in the Gulf. There are concerns about potential backlash against Israel if the US withdraws its support. Despite Iranian missile attacks on Israel, the public in Israel generally supports the military action against Iran, with the backing of the US.
