Israel is not explicitly calling for the overthrow of the theocracy in Iran. In his only interview in Hebrew since Israel launched attacks on Iran’s known nuclear sites, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not count out regime change as an outcome of the conflict, but emphasized that it was not a strategic goal.

Israel's Defense Ministry says its forces hit more Iranian government targets Monday in Tehran, including the notorious Evin Prison.

Israel may yet kill Khamenei, but so far US President Donald Trump still seems strongly opposed enough that Jerusalem has held off.
