Israel is quietly backing US President Donald Trump as he considers military action against Iran, aiming for regime change. Israeli leaders including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have spoken little publicly but are active behind the scenes. Israeli military intelligence recently met US agencies to discuss target options in Iran. Experts say Netanyahu views this as a "golden moment" to end Iran's threat, pushing for strong strikes rather than limited actions. The goal is to stop Iran's missile program and nuclear ambitions, and weaken its proxy forces like Hezbollah. Israeli lawmakers say limited strikes or new deals could be riskier if the regime remains. Last year's 12-day war with Iran showed the high stakes, with Iranian missiles hitting Israeli cities and killing 28 people. Israel fears another attack if the regime stays. Some Israelis accept the dangers, hoping regime change will bring long-term safety. However, risks of chaos or a similar hardline government remain. Analysts warn air strikes alone can't topple regimes and a war could be hard to control. Trump has balanced threats with offers to negotiate but insists Iran stop uranium enrichment and missile development, red lines for Tehran. Israeli experts are divided on a deal's chances. Some see a deal as possible if conditions ease; others doubt Tehran will fully compromise. Israel wants strong US action, seeing it as crucial for regional security, even if the gamble is risky. The world watches closely as tensions build and talks hang in balance.
