Israel, US planning to install new ‘Shah’ in Iran? Khamenei’s downfall or another revolution?

The war between Iran and Israel has crossed the red line. What began as shadow strikes and covert operations has now exploded into a direct confrontation. But is this just about nuclear threats or something far deeper? Did Israel really plot to assassinate Ayatollah Khamenei? Are we witnessing an active push to overthrow Iran's clerical regime?

From Trump rejecting Israeli proposals to bomb Iran, to Netanyahu’s open calls for regime change, and Reza Pahlavi waiting in the wings — this story is no longer about missiles, it’s about power. Who wants Iran’s revolution reversed? What role is America quietly playing? And if the Ayatollah falls, who rises?
