Israeli army estimates that a new and rapid war against Iran will not achieve its goals

The Israeli army estimates that a new and rapid war against Iran will not achieve its goals, due to the gap between Trump's and Netanyahu's objectives. While Netanyahu seeks to topple the regime and destroy the nuclear program, Trump wants a comfortable agreement that keeps the regime standing, which could lead to a decline in Israel's standing in the United States.

The Israeli army estimates that a new and rapid war against Iran will not achieve its goals, due to the difference between the goals of the United States and those of Israel from the war. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to topple the regime and destroy Iran's nuclear program, US President Donald Trump wants to reach an agreement on terms comfortable for the United States, imposing restrictions on the nuclear program and ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Haaretz, the Israeli army does not see Iranian control over navigation as a strategic threat justifying war, while Netanyahu believes that as long as Trump has agreed to use force, it should be exploited to target Iranian capabilities. The army fears that other American attacks could become a central consideration in Israel's decision to join the war, and that it could end with the regime remaining standing and strengthening its determination to acquire nuclear weapons. Units in the army, including the Intelligence Division and the Air Force, doubt the ability of attacks lasting several days to bring about a significant change in the Iranian reality.
