After 11 days of bombing, Israel did not achieve its stated goals of decapitating Iran's nuclear program or causing regime change. Prime Minister Netanyahu's claims of success are questioned. Despite attacking Iranian facilities, the nuclear stockpile remains intact, as Iran reportedly moved vital materials from targeted sites. Furthermore, efforts to incite rebellion against the Iranian regime through assassinations backfired. Instead of causing unrest, these actions united the populace around their government, illustrating the ineffectiveness of Israel's historical strategy of eliminating leadership to destabilize adversaries.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in his statement acknowledging the ceasefire that the Israeli goals have been achieved. Such an assertion seems problematic, to say the least."
"Israel attempted to trigger an uprising against the regime by killing military leaders of Iran's various security structures, but this strategy has never worked."
