Israel alone 'cannot facilitate regime change', US involvement would be essential

Israel has launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, accusing Tehran of secretly developing nuclear weapons—a claim Iran strongly denies. So far, international monitors haven’t detected any radiation spikes at the targeted sites. Tensions have been simmering since the U.S. pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal, prompting Iran to ramp up uranium enrichment. An expert interview with Dr. Rouzbeh Parsi suggests that while Israel can strike, it can’t force a regime change in Iran without crucial U.S. involvement.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another flare-up in the Middle East—it’s a high-stakes game with global consequences. If Iran’s nuclear program escalates unchecked, it could trigger a regional arms race or even a broader conflict. The U.S. role here is pivotal, but its strategy (or lack thereof) could make things messier. For anyone watching global security, this is a slow-motion crisis with no easy off-ramps.
