Israeli Foreign Minister: President Trump Sees the Security Situation as We Do
(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told the Jerusalem Post, "President Donald Trump saw, and continues to see, the situation exactly as we do. That was reflected in their joining the military action in June 2025. All the more so now." Sa'ar stressed that the definition of victory held by the Israeli government and the American administration is the same. "We don't want to enter a new war every year or every two years. Therefore, our goal is to remove the existential threats that Iran poses to Israel for the long term, not just temporarily." "Regime change may be a consequence of the operation; it does not necessarily have to be part of the military campaign itself. Our mission was to weaken the regime, particularly its repression forces, in a way that creates the conditions that will ultimately allow the Iranian people themselves to bring about that change." "The regime has been weakened, and its level of operational readiness is declining....The strikes caused enormous damage to Iran's nuclear-weaponization program, ballistic-missile program, as well as targeting senior figures and various enrichment components. As a result, Iran has been pushed significantly further away from acquiring nuclear weapons." "The reality of life...[is] that this regime does not change its nature. It has not changed its intention or its plan to destroy the State of Israel. Therefore, the long-term goal can be fully realized only when this regime is replaced by another. Otherwise, the threat could always return."
