After eight days of war, I sit down with my friend Ehud Haik, a veteran of the Israeli Army who has spent most of his adult life in uniform. Haik offers a grounded and experienced perspective on the current conflict. He expresses cautious optimism that Israel can achieve its strategic objectives—and believes that a change of regime in Iran is a real possibility. We both agree: despite the reluctance of the U.S. and much of the West to admit it, regime change may be the only outcome that truly serves the long-term interests of Israel and the United States.
Is Regime Change Possible? Is it Likely? Can We Live with a Wounded Iranian Regime?
