Israel's endgame may be regime change in Iran

Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday evening that 

"The time has come for the Iranian people to unite around its flag and its historic legacy, by standing up for your freedom from the evil and oppressive regime."

But this is a gamble - a big one.

There is no evidence that such a chain reaction will start in the first place, but even if it starts, it is unclear where such a process might lead.

Those with the most power in Iran are the people who control the armed forces and the economy, and most of that is in the hands of hardliners in the IRGC and some other unelected bodies.

They don't need to stage a coup because they are already in power, and they could take Iran in a more confrontational direction.
