Israel committed to a ceasefire with Iran on June 23, 2025, brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, but suspicions persist about its underlying goals. Matt Gaetz alleges Israel aims for regime change, not merely denuclearization.
Despite damaged nuclear sites, Israel’s prior airstrikes suggest a broader agenda. With both sides accusing each other of violations, including an Iranian missile strike in Beersheba, the ceasefire’s stability is uncertain.
Will Israel’s pursuit of regime change undermine this truce?
Matt Gaetz questions Israel’s motives in the Iran conflict, suggesting regime change benefits Israeli elites by destabilizing the region.

Matt Gaetz: We’ve shared with you our view that Israel doesn’t want peace. They don’t merely want Iran to denuclearize. If Trump is right and key nuclear sites have been destroyed, what is Israel still fighting for?
Regime change, obviously. We told you that from the beginning. That’s what this is all about to Israel. And it isn’t regime change for the sake of turning Iran into a long nation-building exercise like Iraq.
Israeli elites believe they are better positioned in global markets if places like Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh are smothered in tens of millions of war refugees.
They want these rich Muslim markets to look at skies full of missiles, not a future of opportunity. I think it’s that simple.
This is a gut-check moment for Israeli Prime Minister and perennial war advocate Bibi Netanyahu. Will he bend to Trump’s demands for peace? Or will he continue his air bombing campaign to decapitate the regime of Iran? Matt Gaetz, June 16, 2025
Gaetz’s claims of Israel’s regime change agenda gain traction, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Likud Party leader, aligns with the party’s historical “Greater Israel” ideology envisioning expanded territorial control.
The ceasefire, tested by missile exchanges, remains fragile. American citizens question whether the Israel-Iran ceasefire will hold if Israel pursues regime change to advance such ambitions.
