"The main purpose of Israel right now is to prevent Iran from being a strategic threat to the State of Israel - a strategic threat meaning missiles and nuclear weapons. Everything else we couldn't care less about. And if Iran is in chaos, it definitely won't have the ability to develop nuclear bombs or invest in building missiles. It wouldn't pose any threat to the State of Israel."
"If we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn't care less about the future ... [or] the stability of Iran."
Israel is conducting a bombing campaign against Iran that has achieved tactical successes, including the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and degradation of Iran's military capabilities, though the strategy carries significant risks. Israel's primary objective is preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and advanced missiles that could threaten Israeli security. Rather than concern itself with Iran's political stability or future governance, Israel views internal chaos as beneficial because it would prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear and missile programs. This approach prioritizes immediate security threats over long-term regional stability considerations.
