US MEDIA: TRUMP DOES NOT WANT REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN
Speaking to Axios, US and Israeli officials commented on Trump's stance towards the Iranian government. A US official stated that after Netanyahu's remarks during a press conference on June 16, indicating a potential assassination of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, "We will do whatever is necessary," Trump is not convinced by rumors of regime change.
"SUDDEN AND LARGE-SCALE MOVE"
A US official summarized the current US approach as "choosing between the Ayatollah you know and the Ayatollah you don't know," and noted that the possibility of Trump making a "sudden and large-scale move" still exists. The US official stated that Israel desires regime change in Iran more than the US does, adding, "(Iran) may act more freely regarding the destruction of the country." Meanwhile, Israeli officials emphasized that a potential regime change in Iran is "not an official war objective."
"THE SYSTEM MAY BE SHAKEN"
Raz Zimmt, a senior researcher at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), stated in an interview with Axios that Iran is currently tightening its ranks against external threats and maintaining internal integrity. Zimmt expressed that significant security gaps may have increased the Iranian people's anger towards the government, but images of civilian casualties have also triggered "national solidarity and gathering around the flag." He added that if the war prolongs and the regime's internal security and intelligence capacity weakens, the system could be seriously shaken over time.
