Israel eyes regime change in Iran - and is counting on Trump to make it happen
AI Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu views this as a crucial opportunity, believing the US has the strength and legitimacy to lead. While Trump considers options ranging from limited strikes to regime change, Netanyahu reportedly urged restraint earlier this month because he considered the planned attack insufficient. Israel's military intelligence chief recently met with US agencies to discuss potential targets in Iran. It is believed that Netanyahu is privately pushing the US towards maximalist strikes aimed at regime change in Iran, viewing it as the key to regional stability.
