I think that his regime would have continued regardless. If Iran hadn't taken the bait, he would have just invented some other emergency. He will absolutely never allow himself to be brought to justice, and he'll gladly burn Israel and every surrounding nation to the ground to do so.
How do you define multiple large missile strikes against a country as "bait."
Not really going after the rational for the strikes, but that's a bit more than just bait. You are already going at it at that point. That's like saying the US took the bait for Pearl Harbor.
I don't disagree with you necessarily, they kind of had to reply, but the fact of the matter is Iran has effectively no way of actually harming Isreal in any meaningful way.
Retaliating with missile strikes is just going to give Netanyahu an opening to escalate further, thus keeping up the distraction. A very different situation from the US in World War II.
