Don’t be absurd.
Israel has launched a pre-emptive strike on the country that has repeatedly called for its destruction and has taken steps towards that goal.
This is the least rogue thing Israel has done in years.

Who is the rogue?
Iran, who doesn't allow political opposition; oppresses its people, supplies arms to terrorist organisations (Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah); declares its intent to wipe Israel off the map; building nukes with which to destroy Israel?
Israel, a fully democratic country (admittedly with some bad eggs in power); fighting for its existence; fighting terrorism (see Oct-7th-2024 for details); threatened with destruction by Iran?
Do you seriously side with Iran (one has to wonder)?

Re: Israel v Iran conflict
There's some very nasty people on either side of this conflict. If we were even handed in in condemning both, we could hold our heads slightly high. One country has a 'get out of jail free card', to do whatever it wants, including genocide.

I’m not sure Israel’s objectives are just about stopping Iran from a functioning nuclear weapon, that might be the implied objective sure, but if they could implement regime change as well? They wouldn’t say no would they

Countries in the Middle East and elsewhere are filling the vacuum created by the US and finding their own solutions to problems, as Israel has done here. It also has the beneficial effect of changing the focus from Gaza.
If the regime changed in Iran, it's the army who have the power so don't expect a pro-Western government to fill the void.

Re: Israel v Iran conflict
This is moving quite fast now. Trump is 'considering' joining the war against Iran. US equipment is moving towards the region.

Re: Israel v Iran conflict
Trump just re-posted this from Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel
fyi, Mike Huckabee is an Evangelical who believes that Israel is central to triggering the rise of the Antichrist, the rapture, the return of Christ, the battle of Armageddon - on a side note, Truman in 1945 authorised the dropping of Atomic bombs on Japan...

Re: Israel v Iran conflict
Huckabee's tripe is reminiscent of George Galloway's cringe toward Saddam Hussein.
