Did the United States and Israel just greenlight a military operation with shocking blind spots? In an astonishing pre-attack assessment, the CIA reportedly concluded that even if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were killed in recent U.S. and Israeli strikes, he could be replaced by even more hardline elements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This intelligence directly challenged the stated objective of President Donald Trump, who openly sought regime change in Tehran, labeling it a “terrorist regime” and encouraging an uprising. The agency’s reports, produced over two weeks, explored various scenarios following a U.S. intervention, but none concluded with certainty that a military operation would guarantee the desired political shift. Despite ongoing nuclear deal negotiations in Geneva, which ultimately failed, and warnings from Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the congressional Gang of Eight, the operations proceeded. The U.S. and Israeli assault followed weeks of internal deliberation, sparked by deadly protests in Iran last December. This revelation suggests a complex and potentially perilous path forward for U.S. foreign policy under President Trump. What does this mean for stability in the Middle East?
