unclear what this is in response to but i have no illusions about Iran and said several times in this video that I understand Israel’s rationale for action i’m just less convinced about America’s.

You implied that the administration’s aim is regime change, while you were unsure whether Israel shared that goal (Min 3:38). Yediot Aharanot’s Nadav Eyal, who has extensive relationships within the Israeli military and political establishments, reported to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria this morning that no one in those echelons has that as a goal of the operation or sees it as a likely outcome. Btw, it should be noted that the overwhelming number of Israel’s citizens and its political leaders across the political spectrum support the Israeli government’s decision to launch this military campaign, despite how they feel about Bibi Netanyahu. For Israelis, this isn’t “Bibi’s War,” it’s “Israel’s War, because they understand what an Iran with a nuclear bomb(s) and the ballistic missiles with which to launch them means.

Look, I am no Bibi fan. I wish his was not the government. He should pay the consequences for the disastrous security failure of Oct 7th. And at the same time, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And, he did not say that regime change was an objective of the operation. He said it could be a possible outcome. But I understand that nuance in the highly polarized political world in which we currently live has very little currency or relevance. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/netanyahu-says-regime-change-in-iran-could-be-result-of-israels-attacks/ar-AA1GKYML?ocid=BingNewsSerp
