Israel is increasingly signalling that it sees regime change in Iran as a strategic objective, and is reportedly counting on support from U.S. President Donald Trump as tensions escalate in the Middle East, according to a BBC analysis.
The report notes that some Israeli officials and analysts believe Iran’s leadership is facing growing internal pressure and regional isolation, creating what they view as a rare opportunity to weaken or potentially destabilise the Islamic Republic from within.
BBC correspondent reporting highlights that Israel’s calculations may depend heavily on whether Trump is willing to adopt a more aggressive posture toward Tehran, including deeper political and military backing for Israeli actions.
The article explains that while Israel has long opposed Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional influence, talk of openly pursuing regime change marks a sharper and more politically risky escalation.
However, the report also stresses that such a strategy carries major uncertainty. Iran’s government retains significant security power at home, and any attempt to push for collapse could trigger unpredictable consequences, including wider conflict across the region.
The BBC adds that international observers remain divided on whether external pressure can realistically bring political transformation in Iran, or whether it could instead strengthen hardliners and deepen confrontation.
