Israel's endgame may be regime change in Iran - but it's a gamble
Israel's attacks on Iran may aim for regime change, as Netanyahu hopes to spark unrest leading to the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. The strikes targeting top Iranian officials have escalated tensions, potentially leading to a popular uprising or regime collapse. However, the outcome is uncertain, with challenges such as fragmented opposition groups and the potential chaos a regime change could bring to Iran and the Middle East. Netanyahu's gamble on destabilizing the regime is risky, as the consequences remain unpredictable and may not lead to the desired outcome.
