🔶 Israeli Channel 12: Mossad chief removes two senior officials linked to failed Iranian regime-change plan

Channel 12 Israel reported that Romyn Gofman, the newly appointed head of Mossad, has removed two of the organization’s top senior officials who played a key role in drafting a failed plan to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

According to this report, one of these individuals had been in charge of Mossad’s Intelligence Directorate since December, and the other was responsible for the Iran unit within the organization.

The report says that these two officials were the main drafters of a written operational program whose aim was to overthrow the Islamic Republic by relying on ethnic minority groups in Iran and encouraging the resumption of widespread popular protests to bring down the government.

The report adds that during February, when Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, was trying to persuade Donald Trump, the U.S. president, to join the war against the Islamic Republic, he also raised this plan.
