President Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal has left Israel to reassess its policy toward Iran-and how to advance its key national-security objectives: preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, thwarting Iran's aspirations for hegemony, changing the fundamentally hostile and radical orientation of the regime, and preventing future military conflict.
