Israel Seeks Iran Regime Change Despite Protester Slaughter Warning: Report
•Israel hopes for a popular revolt in Iran to overthrow the clerical regime, despite telling US diplomats that Iranian protesters would "get slaughtered."
•A US State Department cable reviewed by The Washington Post revealed Israel's assessment that Iran's regime is "not cracking" and will "fight to the end."
•Israeli officials noted that thousands were killed in January protests and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) still holds the "upper hand."
•Despite low chances, Israel is optimistic about a revolt and urged the US to prepare to support protesters, following calls for street protests by exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi.
•US-Israeli strikes have hit thousands of targets in Iran, including nuclear infrastructure and military stockpiles, killing key security officials like Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani.
