An Israeli senior official told Reuters that officials admitted in a closed-door discussion that whether the war against Iran would lead to the fall of its theocratic government is uncertain, and there are no signs of public uprisings in Iran during the bombing operations.

The report noted that although U.S. President Donald Trump made comments suggesting the war could end soon, two Israeli officials said Israel’s assessment is that Washington has not yet approached ending the conflict.

Intensive bombing by the U.S. and Israel has killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior military commanders, but also caused civilian casualties and destroyed homes and public buildings. As missiles strike Tehran and other cities, Iranian authorities threaten to use deadly force against protesters, and Iranians who might take to the streets could be deterred by fear until the war ends.

On the day Israel and the U.S. launched joint airstrikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation would create conditions for the Iranian people to take control of their destiny. However, in a statement on Tuesday, Netanyahu reiterated that while Israel’s wish is to help Iranians overthrow tyranny, ultimately “it depends on them.”

Israel and the U.S. have not issued a joint public statement clearly outlining unified war objectives or conditions under which military operations might end. On Monday, Trump described the war as “very complete, almost done,” but on Tuesday, the White House said the war would only end when Trump is certain that his goals have been achieved and Iran is unconditionally surrendering.
