Unprecedented Tensions: Israel's Covert Campaign Against Iran

Israel's comprehensive airstrike campaign targets more than just Iran's nuclear capabilities; it seeks to destabilize Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's government, according to Israeli, Western, and regional officials.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's goal is to weaken Iran to the point of making fundamental concessions on its nuclear and missile programs, as well as its support for regional militant groups.

Experts caution that while negotiations may be in the offing, any regime change could lead to regional chaos and instability, threatening broader Middle East peace.
