💭   Regime change won't neuter Iran

Politics

The timing of American intervention on the side of Israel in its preemptive war on Iran is no coincidence. With Hezbollah diminished and the Syrian state weakened, this is the best opportunity Tel Aviv has to effect regime change in Iran. While the American goal seemed initially to be cessation of Iran’s nuclear programme, Israeli operations have been of a much wider scope, implying an attempt to bring about either full regime change or state failure. Such an eventuality would leave them as the unquestionable hegemon in the Middle East for decades to come… or so they think.
