Bibi believes—probably correctly—that the Iranian government will never give up its goal of destroying Israel as long as it remains a theocracy. As a result, his preferred option for the end of the war is regime change. Unfortunately for him, that would require an invasion and an occupation. There is little chance of persuading Trump to do that.
The backup plan, therefore, is to compel America to cut the grass in Iran on a regular basis, just as Israel did in Gaza before 2024. There are two problems with this approach, however. First, the next American president is much less likely to do Israel’s bidding than Trump. Second, the Gaza template doesn’t provide a whole lot of assurances.
