    Ss: Operation roaring lion has reduced its objectives it seems. Leverage is shifting from US/Israel to Iran.

    It will be interesting to see what ceasefire terms both sides finally agree upon.

    Israel has no military goal of overturning the Iranian regime, Israel’s military spokesman Effie Defrin said at a press briefing on Sunday evening. “Rather, we are creating conditions and undermining it so that over time the Iranian people can take their destiny into their own hands,” he said.

  3. So, now that it appears that the regime won’t be falling, that aim is being abandoned.

  4. Israel’s position hasn’t changed, they said the same thing at the beginning of the operation.

    The U.S. and Israel completely underestimated Iran. Now it will be in a much more volatile situation it was before the war.

    Trump told the Iranians to rise up before and 35k got killed. There is no one left to rise up.

  8. Because that was a bonus,they wanted to topple iran for 20 yrs alrdy,regime change was always a side quest
