Netanyahu wants regime change in Iran. Is Trump on board?

Speaking to the US broadcaster ABC News on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked about reports that US President Donald Trump nixed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"It's not going to escalate the conflict, it's going to end the conflict," Netanyahu insisted, not denying Trump's rejection nor such Israeli plans.

Israel, he said, is "doing what we need to do".

Not long after, two leading voices in the "Make America Great Again" movement - Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Trump during his first term, and Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News pundit - said all signs from the White House pointed to regime change in Iran, as they assessed the administration's moves since Israel launched its first air strikes on Tehran on Friday.
