Israel has adopted a cautious and largely silent stance amid ongoing unrest in Iran, choosing not to publicly intervene or escalate tensions as protests threaten the stability of the Iranian regime. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his government to maintain radio silence, believing that overt involvement could undermine the protest movement by validating the regime's claims of foreign interference. Analysts suggest that Israel sees the current unrest as unprecedented and potentially destabilizing enough to bring about regime change from within, reducing the need for direct action. While the United States has issued threats and repositioned military assets, Israel prefers to prepare defensively and avoid provocation, wary of both the risks of escalation and the uncertainties that could follow the regime's collapse. Ultimately, Israeli officials emphasize that meaningful change in Iran must come from the Iranian people themselves, with outside intervention likely to do more harm than good.
