Israel, which has been accused of assassinating Iran's nuclear expert, is believed to have many reasons to take action when the Trump administration is coming to an end.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on November 28 that Israel was "a mercenary" for the United States when it was assassinated, Tehran's top nuclear scientist.

Instead of questioning who was behind the assassination in obscurity in Iran, the concern of analysts now turns to the question of what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hoped to achieve if he was human.

With a history of a series of assassinations of Iran nuclear scientist believed to have been carried out by Israeli agents, analysts say Tel Aviv remains the most likely party to carry out the Fakhrizadeh assassination.

The first possibility is that Prime Minister Netanyahu may be seeking to provoke Iran into a military response, giving the US an excuse to attack its nuclear program in the final weeks of the administration of US President Donald Trump.

According to commentators Steve Hendrix and Shira Rubin of the Washington Post, Israeli Prime Minister became wary after US President-elect Joe Biden pledged on "diplomatic path" for Iran.

"In the next month and a half, Netanyahu's position on Iran will be: 'If they respond, horror can happen.' You don't expect what President Trump will do before leaving office," Yoel said.

Another goal Netanyahu could have targeted through assassination was to deal with some of his legal and political problems.

"In general, Netanyahu is cautious in military action. But in this case, he is facing a series of challenges, not only in terms of strategic goals, but also politically.

According to Freilich, some security experts even believe that Netanyahu is ready to "set the fire", to urge the US to use the underground bombs, destroying Iran's nuclear centrifuges before Biden takes over.

"Israel is ready to push towards solving the Iran nuclear problem. We have lived with this concern for 30 years and it is time to put it aside," Freilich said, adding that this strategy should have been.

Others argued that Netanyahu's motivation was simply to destroy Fakhrizadeh, who is considered the "nuclear brain" of Tehran, once described by the Israeli Prime Minister as the "father" of Iran's nuclear program and

The attack is a complex coordinated attack that is expected to take months to plan.

"Netanyahu does not want war with Iran. He is betting that Iran will swear revenge, but dare not act," said Yossi Melman, a veteran journalist specializing in Israel's covert operations.

Netanyahu's calculation seems to be correct at this point.

Meir Javedanfar, lecturer on Iranian affairs at Israel's Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center, said Tehran would deal with the problem with caution, as the country was facing a series of highly impacting sanctions,

The fact that Iran has not yet made any action shows that they can curb and wait for the next US presidential term.

Regardless of the motive that led to the Nov. 27 attack, it posed a more difficult challenge to the US State Department under Biden.

"If US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met together a week ago, in the midst of Trump's departure from the White House and Netanyahu was probably preparing for elections, the haunt

That means America's allies have rallied and are ready to take on Iran, which they see as a major threat, and want the United States to take their position seriously.

"Willingly or not, the message remains that Israel will be tough on Iran, instead of cooperating in a joint response," Freilich said.
