Israel fears that a short campaign in the United States will leave it alone with a stronger Iran. The United States may be ready to launch a new round of attacks on Iran, but it does not intend to fight until Israel achieves its precious goal of regime change and the destruction of Iran's nuclear program, Haaretz reports. The main problem is, according to the reports, the gap between the goals of the war between the US and Israel, with Benjamin Netanyahu seeking regime change while Donald Trump is seeking an agreement that will limit Iran's nuclear activities and ensure shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli military officials warn that a short US-led campaign could leave Israel with an even more dangerous Iran. According to the report, Israeli military officials doubt that a few days of airstrikes could topple the Iranian government or permanently undermine its nuclear and missile capabilities. Iran increasingly sees the acquisition of nuclear weapons as essential to its survival and deterrence, and has strengthened the defense of critical facilities. Military strikes could delay its nuclear program, but ending it would likely require a diplomatic agreement backed by international inspections. Despite the economic damage and growing pressure, Israeli estimates indicate that the Iranian government will be able to survive at least two more years, and outlast Trump's term. Israel fears that Iran could expand the conflict by targeting submarine communication cables, technological infrastructure in the Persian Gulf, or even opening a land front in the region. The prospect of renewed fighting looms large against the backdrop of stalled negotiations and an American military build-up in the Middle East, including a third aircraft carrier heading to the region.
