It’s a war in which the situation is changing dynamically. In the long shadow of the Israel-Iran conflict, the question looming larger than ever is about the true objectives of the war. Is this merely a confrontation over a nuclear programme? Or is Israel pursuing a broader ambition; regime change, strategic dominance, and the irreversible rollback of Iranian power? Recall that it was 1979 when equations changed and a vehemently anti-Israel Iran emerged from the Revolution.For long, Israel’s approach to Iran has rested on two pillars: preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons and degrading its capacity to project power across the region through proxies. Yet today, as Tel Aviv intensifies its strikes and rhetoric, and as the war stretches from proxy skirmishes to direct confrontation, it seems clear that Israel is not settling for containment. Netanyahu appears to have assessed that with the proxies in disarray, this is the moment to seize. He is aiming to dismantle the Iranian regime’s ability to threaten Israel’s existence or adversely influence its interests.
