Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar blamed Washington on Tuesday for the Iranian regime’s survival, saying the United States chose against sending troops into Iran to topple the government in Tehran.

“The US decided not to send its soldiers into Iranian territory to topple the current regime,” Zohar told Army Radio. “Had they wanted the regime to fall, it would have fallen.”

At the same time, Zohar praised Israel’s conduct of the war, saying the campaign had been managed “close to perfect” so far.

“Until this moment, the management of the war has been close to perfect,” he said. “We set Iran back by decades; their entire leadership is gone.”

Zohar’s comments came as coalition ministers continued to criticize the emerging US-Iran agreement and stressed that Israel must retain freedom of action even if Washington moves forward with understandings with Tehran
