Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi, a former senior IDF officer and defense analyst, issued an assessment Wednesday morning stating that President Trump has achieved his initial objectives in the Iran confrontation and is now refocusing on the core war goals: preventing a nuclear Iran and creating conditions for the fall of the Iranian regime. Avivi added that Israel is also preparing for this scenario.
The analysis adds to the ongoing public discussion in Israeli security circles about the next phase of U.S.-Iran tensions. The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's diplomatic overtures, including backchannel efforts to bring Iran to negotiations (June 11) and reports that he was preparing to lift the naval blockade on Iran (June 14) to de-escalate. Trump himself has publicly stated that regime change is not his goal (July 8). Avivi's remarks suggest a shift toward a regime-change objective, though the statement was not independently verified.
The statement was published on a security-focused Israeli channel. No further details on specific Israeli preparations were provided.
