Israel is cynically capitalizing on the Iranian protests to further its own interests, using a disingenuous narrative of supporting the protesters while secretly backing a regime change.
The protests, which began over economic issues but have now expanded into demands for freedom and justice, have been seized upon by Israeli leaders as an opportunity to push their long-held agenda of regime change in Iran. The Iranian opposition has largely been co-opted into this effort, with some figures echoing Israeli talking points on the need for a new Iran.
Israel's intelligence services are actively involved in the protests, according to Iranian authorities, and the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that he sees these events as an opportunity to undermine the Islamic Republic.
Netanyahu has been using his usual tactics of emotional manipulation, framing the Iranian protesters as champions of freedom and justice, while making implicit threats against those who resist change. These efforts are not in the interests of the Iranian people but rather serve Israel's own strategic goals.
In this context, Trump's recent offer to intervene militarily on behalf of the Iranian protesters can be seen as a cynical attempt to use force to achieve its objectives. The fact that he has promised military intervention if Iranian protesters are shot dead is particularly disturbing. It highlights his willingness to resort to violence in order to further his agenda.
It is essential for observers of this situation, both inside and outside Iran, to recognize the true intentions behind Israel's actions. Rather than focusing on the supposed "struggle" of the Iranian people or the need for "regime change", they should be critical of Israel's efforts to co-opt the opposition into its agenda.
