The shaky and fragile ceasefire between Israel, and its US partner and benefactor, and Iran, continues to hold for now.
However, while the world remains apprehensive about what many believe was a dangerous military gamble by both Tel Aviv and Washington in their recent attacks on Iran, events are unfolding just as planned by both countries following a decades' long plan by Washington and Tel Aviv neoconservatives.
In 1996 a policy document called A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, prepared by a study group led by American neoconservative Richard Perle, was presented to current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was also Prime Minister at the time.
The plan called for regime change in North Africa and the Middle East which involved the overthrow of seven countries to be replaced by friendlier regimes that were more pliable to Israeli and American plans for domination and regional hegemony.

The plan was to target Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan before finishing off with Iran. The document argued that regime change was preferable to pursuing peace talks with the Arab world.
Perle was formerly part of the Project for a New American Century which advocated for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, following the attack on New York's Twin Towers, on false claims of possessing weapons of mass destruction.
While Iraq did not have such weapons, the goals of overthrowing Saddam Hussein was completed leaving a more fragile, divided country in its wake.
Desire for regime change is particularly pertinent to current Middle East developments as there are also ongoing discussions in both Israel and the US about whether to implement regime change in Iran and to pursue nuclear talks, following Israeli and American attacks on Iran and its nuclear sites in June.
Netanyahu would prefer regime change while US President Donald Trump earlier appeared to be open to further talks with Iran until recently taking a harder line and also raising the possibility of regime change.
Any overthrow of the Iranian Government could fuel further chaos in a region already destabilised by Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
The Israeli premier and his extreme right-wing Government, comprising several ministers with criminal convictions and a fascist outlook, are succeeding in plans to destroy Gaza and ethnically cleanse its inhabitants just as outlined in an Israeli Intelligence Ministry plan produced just after Hamas' 7 October plan in 2023.
