The Armed Forces of Israel have indicated that they have operational plans to maintain "at least three more weeks" the aerial attacks against targets located in Iranian territory, in the context of the joint offensive initiated with the United States on February 28.

“We are ready, in coordination with our United States allies, to continue at least until the Jewish Passover, within three weeks,” Israeli military spokesman Effie Defrin explained in statements to CNN.

“We have thousands of objectives ahead,” he added, which is why, he explained, they do not work “with a stopwatch nor with a calendar,” but “with the aim of fulfilling our objectives.”

Objective, to overthrow the regime

At the same time, a senior Israeli official has indicated, on condition of anonymity, to ‘The Times of Israel’ newspaper that there are “signs of cracks” in the Iranian leadership. Political change in Iran is among the express objectives of the offensive driven by Washington and Tel Aviv.

"We are creating the conditions" for the overthrow of the regime, the Israeli official has argued, who has clarified that "in the end it will depend on the Iranian people." "It may take time, but it is not a war without end and we are quite ahead of schedule," he added.
