Israel's recent military confrontation with Iran has raised questions about the true objectives behind its actions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks to the Iranian people have sparked speculation about Israel's endgame in this conflict.

Netanyahu's history of highlighting the threats posed by Iran has shaped Israel's military strategy. Despite warnings from allies and advisors, Israel has taken unprecedented steps to target Iran's nuclear facilities and military assets.

Dr. Sanam Vakil from Chatham House suggests that while Netanyahu aims for regime change, Israel's primary goal is to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. Destroying key facilities like Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow is crucial to achieving this objective.

However, experts question the effectiveness of Israel's strikes in dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities. The use of bunker-busting bombs and the involvement of the US Air Force may be necessary to deal a significant blow to Iran's nuclear program.

Israel's timing of the attacks, coinciding with potential peace talks between the US and Iran, has raised suspicions about its intentions. Some believe that Israel's actions were designed to derail negotiations and weaken Iran's position in any future diplomatic discussions.

While Netanyahu's rhetoric hints at broader objectives, Israeli intelligence officials remain focused on disrupting Iran's nuclear ambitions. The unpredictability of the conflict and the role of the US in shaping its outcome add to the complexity of the situation.

As the conflict escalates, the impact on the Iranian population and the region remains a concern. The potential for further destabilization and civilian casualties underscores the need for diplomatic solutions to prevent further escalation.

Ultimately, the resolution of this conflict depends on the actions of key stakeholders, particularly the US, in determining the course of future events.
