"Despite the heightened tensions, a full-scale war [between the U.S. and Iran] remains unlikely in the immediate term."

"Trump has been clear in his desire to resolve the issue diplomatically and avoid war [with Iran] in the Middle East."

"Despite all the hysteria of war, I'm not really seeing that on the horizon."

"It is highly unlikely that Trump will bomb Iran, not least because he vowed on the presidential campaign trail not to drag the United States into a war."

"The potential of some kind of conflict with Iran escalating into a larger regional war is very real, possibly more real than ever."

"The United States now seems close to a direct conflict that Biden (and Iran) have worked hard to avoid."

"[A] full-scale war is hardly inevitable."

"If they [Iran] don't make a deal [with the US], there will be bombing."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained minor leg injuries during an Israeli airstrike on June 16 that targeted a Supreme National Security Council meeting in an underground facility in western Tehran, Iran's state Fars News Agency reported Sunday.

The strike involved six bombs or missiles that hit entry and exit points to block escape routes and cut off ventilation, forcing officials to evacuate through a pre-planned emergency hatch. The Supreme National Security Council meeting included the heads of Iran's three government branches and senior officials.

Recently, President Pezeshkian confirmed in an interview with Tucker Carlson that Israel attempted to assassinate him, stating, "They did try, yes... but they failed," though he did not mention being injured. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz denied that "regime change" was a goal of the military campaign.

At least 1,060 Iranians were killed during the conflict, according to Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, as Israeli strikes targeted top military commanders, including IRGC chief Gen. Hossein Salami. Iran's retaliatory attacks reportedly killed 28 people in Israel and wounded over 3,000.

Israel's military action focused on preventing Iran's nuclear weapons development and eliminating military threats, not political assassination. The strikes targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and military commanders who posed security risks, while political leaders were spared from systematic targeting. Defense officials explicitly stated regime change was not an objective of the defensive campaign.

This was a clear assassination attempt targeting Iran's entire government leadership during wartime deliberations. The precision strike aimed to eliminate the heads of all three branches of government and paralyze the country's decision-making apparatus. Israel's denial of regime change goals rings hollow when they specifically targeted the Supreme National Security Council meeting with surgical precision.
