"Netanyahu claimed in a call with Trump that the Iranian regime was in disarray and there was a window of opportunity to further destabilize it."
"Our aircraft are striking terrorist operatives on the ground, on roads and in public squares. This is meant to allow the brave Iranian people to celebrate the Festival of Fire."
Netanyahu's strategy includes fostering a popular uprising in Iran, while U.S. officials indicate that Trump considers regime change a bonus. Recent Israeli strikes targeted key Iranian leaders, including Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani, to weaken the regime's control over protests. Netanyahu suggested a coordinated call to the Iranian people to rise against their government, but Trump expressed concerns about potential violence. Despite Netanyahu's public encouragement for Iranians to celebrate, few took to the streets due to fear of regime retaliation.
