Alex Vatanka, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C., said Netanyahu is likely to try again to promote regime change in Iran when he meets with Trump at the White House on Tuesday. But Trump won’t buy it because he doesn’t want to. The war is extremely politically unpopular in the United States, so it remains to be seen what Netanyahu will gain from this meeting. Previous meetings between Trump and Netanyahu in Washington often resulted in an escalation of tensions with Iran. Will this pattern continue this time? Still need to wait and see. Israel remains dissatisfied with the Trump administration's memorandum of understanding with Iran because their perception of the Iranian threat differs from that of the United States. Israeli officials will hope Netanyahu continues to pressure Trump on Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs. The Trump administration's response may be: Unless the United States decides to send troops to occupy Iran, the military operations that the US military can do are limited. As for the occupation of Iran, no one will take it seriously.
