Israel is closely monitoring the ongoing protests in Iran, viewing the Islamic Republic as a significant threat. Despite hopes among Israelis for the fall of the Iranian regime, Israeli leaders and analysts believe that the current demonstrations are unlikely to succeed due to a lack of leadership and the regime's brutal suppression tactics. Experts argue that Israel's options for intervention are limited and risky, as any overt action could provoke retaliation from Iran and give credence to claims of foreign interference. While some in Israel support aiding Iranian opposition groups or targeting military assets, most agree that only a large-scale operation, likely led by the United States, could have a meaningful impact. The Israeli government remains cautious, wary of unintended consequences and skeptical of exiled figures like Reza Pahlavi as potential leaders for Iran.
