Mossad Chief Reportedly Removes Senior Iran Officials After Regime-Change Plan Falters
The dismissed officials had led a covert effort to build partnerships with minority groups in Iran, sources said, after the operation failed to advance.
- On Thursday, Mossad Director Roman Gofman removed two senior officials from their posts over a failed regime-change plan for Iran that was never carried out as intended, N12 reported.
- The secret Mossad-CIA proposal called for Kurdish ground forces to enter Iran under extensive Israeli and American air cover to install former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and topple the Islamic Republic.
- Israel Air Force jets reportedly struck Ahmadinejad's Tehran residence to free him from house arrest, wounding the former leader, as the operation unraveled on the first day of the war.
- Gofman believed those responsible should be held accountable after the plan was presented to President Donald Trump but never implemented on the ground.
- Both officials could remain in the Mossad in other positions as part of a broader reorganization, though security officials noted neither had developed a working relationship with Gofman from the outset.
