Would Regime Change Solve the Iran Challenge? | State of Play

Israel sees Iran as an existential threat and is happy to see Iran greatly weakened so Israel can have some temporary breathing room.

This doesn’t match American interests. Iran is not the same level of threat to the United States. Using blood, treasure, and munitions to temporarily weaken Iran is a large net bad for the US. This war is only worth it for the US if Iran gets a friendlier regime or has a long term change in behavior.
