Why would it end? Israel wants an Iran that cannot defend itself, America wants oil and labor. A new leader isn't likely to give America its peoples oil and labor for pennies, nor delete all the Iranian scientists and engineers and children who will stand up for themselves.

I read that they had a meeting where they designated successors for every position, like 3 or 4 positions down. I think Iran will probably fight until they physically can't anymore.

Israel doesn't want this to end, neither does the US govt. If they win and war ends, people at home start asking other questions, like "hey what are you doing?"

Guys, I’m afraid Israeli media might not be reliable in matters related to the wars Israel is waging.

[edit] confirmed by other sources now

Israel would be happy with a friendly government in Iran. They were great friends with the Shah and got along great.

Iran isn't Syria. Israel has a vested interest in turning Iran into an ally. They're far away enough to not be a direct threat, but close and big enough to matter geopolitically. If they can get a friendly regime in place then the power dynamics of the whole region will drastically change in their favor.

If the regime does really fall then every global and regional power is going to jump in and try their shot at trying to install their favored regime. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, Turkey, Qatar, EU, Israel, US, and hell even India might try to get the most out of the opportunity as the results could be huge.

That's kind of the issue, there are too many successors but none are definitely chosen. So there is a very high of infighting. This is assuming that Israel and the US won't go after all them as well. Considering how Israel did just that with Hezbollah not too long ago, this might actually be the most likely scenario. If regime change is truly the goal here, they probably won't stop until happens.

But you also have to consider that the Iranian intelligence apparatus is incredibly weak and severely compromised. You can be sure that Israel has all the information they need about all the successors. If they can track down and kill their supreme leader in a few hours, they sure as hell can track down and kill the others.

Nobody is going to be able to install a comprador regime that lasts more than 10 minutes.

It doesn't have to be. Israel and the US could let Iranians set up their own government with "guidance". Iranians as a while are very liberal, educated, democratic, and most importantly, friendly to Israel and the US. Though everything we're saying now is just speculation, reality tends to go in unexpected ways

Awful is a pretty apt description for someone bad enough to lose against Donald Trump.

Dude was 86, I doubt he was particularly concerned about getting to end his life as a martyr vs of natural causes in a few years.
