Why do I say that Trump and Netanyahu have different agendas regarding Iran. Trump's mantra all the time had been about a regime change. In fact, he is calling on ordinary Iranians to rise up to reclaim their country, whatever that means. Iran, whether under the Islamic regime or the USA appointed Shah still belongs to the Iranians. Of course, a new regime change would cater to the interest of the USA, especially control of the oil, not the Iranian people. This is always the ploy, just like in Iraq. What did the Iraqi people achieved, helping to topple Saddam Hussein? They lost their oil and life is even more tumultuous now for them with the country still unstable. Why are Iraqis now protesting against the action of the USA and Israel against Iran answer any questions? Didn't they help the USA during the illegal and fabricated Iraq War?
Netanyahu's agenda on the other hand is to create a 'Greater Israel' by expanding its territory at the expense of other Muslim countries and Iran is the only Muslim country in the Middle East preventing that from happening besides the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah. Lebanon and Syria will fall into Israel hands should Iran capitulate. But that would not be easy, as without troops on the ground. USA is fearful of a guerilla war after its experience in Vietnam and Afghanistan, and I doubt they will relish having boots on the ground in Iran.

Trump has no idea what he wants out of Iran, just catering to the dictates of Netanyahu. It was supposed to be a nuclear deal which he did not want, by tearing away an earlier deal, and now using it back as an excuse to go after Iran.
Now it is about a regime change, that is not happening. What is next?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
