I doubt this.
For one, Netanyahu would like to stay out of prison but this isn't the cause of this war. Polls showed the overwhelming majority of Israelis want this war. Opposition leader Lapid and Bennet have shown support for it. Its part of the Greater Israel vision to either balkanize Iran or replace it with a friendly regime.
As for Reza, I do not believe for a moment Trump or any American official believed his grift. Trump publicly dismissed Pahlavi multiple times, and the guy has no cohesive movement or support within Iran. He's less viable than Venezuela's opposition leader, and we saw what she got: Nothing.
Like I said above: the Iran war has massive public support in Israel.
And this Iran war started last year in June, it became clear Israel couldn't finish the job on its own and this is why America is fighting the war now with Israel.
But you're right on a very important point: seems like Israel and the USA have different objectives for this war. Israel wants to bring down the regime and that includes destroying infrastructure to cause an uprising, while the USA wants a longer and slower degradation of Iran's capabilities while keeping infrastructure for whoever they think will rule Iran next.
As for Greenlannd, I think Trump would be more serious about taking it now than before since NATO has shown it has less desire to take part in America's adventures and would rather keep the defensive alliance a purely defensive one, especially after the Ukraine war.

Nato chief backed US action against Iran.
And, interestingly after refusing to help US, NATO allies flipped within a day and agrees to help.
Some did it conditionally - after truce
Some are ready to help now.
