Netanyahu’s ultimate goal in launching the military offensive against Iran remains unclear, whether it was to set back Iran’s nuclear-weapons program significantly, to destroy it entirely, or to foment regime change in Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the ceasefire with Iran unveiled by President Donald Trump and said he had agreed to it, but warned his country would "respond forcefully to any violation.

The head of the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that “the campaign against Iran is not over” as a ceasefire between the two countries went into effect. President Donald Trump also vowed that Israel will not attack Iran and told Israel to bring its pilots home.
