The unnamed political source said replacing the regime in Tehran is unlikely because such a change would require either a ground invasion or the renewal of widespread protests inside Iran, which he ruled out happening in the near future.

He added there is a large gap between the United States’ and Israel’s view of the war, saying Washington officials are concerned about the war’s impact on oil prices while Israel views the war as an achievement and celebrates it, and he referred to U.S. and Israeli assassinations of key figures when discussing the conflict's effects.

Iran's Public Position

Iran insisted the war will continue, with Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf saying, 'The war will continue until the enemy’s calculations change and it is driven to regret.'

Qalibaf said Iran no longer distinguishes between the United States and Israel with regard to their crimes and charged that U.S. President Donald Trump was deceived by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into starting the war and is now acting 'under his control,' he said.

Nuclear Sites Targeted

Israeli officials and state media said Tel Aviv intends to carry out additional attacks on Iranian nuclear targets and sites, with an Israeli official telling the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation that ongoing attacks aim to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and that thousands of targets can be struck.

The Israeli army announced it had attacked a site it said was dedicated to developing nuclear weapons and said the air force attacked an additional site in Tehran within the Iranian nuclear program, the Taleqan site, which the army said was used for many years to develop advanced explosive materials and conduct sensitive tests under Project Amad.

No immediate official Iranian statement was issued regarding the targeting of the Taleqan site, but Iran’s representative to the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Reza Najafi, said ongoing U.S.-Israeli air raids targeted the Natanz nuclear facility on March 2, without American or Israeli confirmation of that claim.

Casualties and Objectives

The Israeli and American militaries are focusing on destroying Iran’s military capabilities, including ballistic missile production and launch facilities and the military industry, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said, adding that Israeli estimates indicate the regime in Iran is still standing despite two weeks of intensive strikes that included dropping about 18,000 munitions on targets inside the country.

Since February 28, Israel and the United States have been waging a war against Iran, in which at least 1,332 people were killed, including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and more than 15,000 were wounded.

Tehran has responded by launching rockets and drones toward Israel, which the article says led to at least 14 deaths and 2,745 injuries, and other attacks killed at least 7 American soldiers and injured 140.

The article also reports that Iran targeted Gulf countries, Iraq, and Jordan claiming to strike American military bases in them, but that Iranian strikes hit energy facilities and other civilian sites, resulting in deaths and injuries in those countries, which the Security Council condemned.
