Multiple reports say Israel’s Mossad chief Roman Gofman has dismissed two senior officials after a plan aimed at toppling Iran’s government did not materialize. Israeli outlets cited by Middle East Eye report that one of the dismissed officials had led Mossad’s intelligence directorate and had been in the role since December, while the other headed the agency’s Iran division. The alleged plan reportedly sought to undermine Iran’s leadership by mobilising the country’s minority groups, encouraging rebellion, and helping drive mass protests intended to force the government out. Mint similarly reports that the dismissals follow the failure—or lack of operationalization—of an Israel-US-backed effort to topple Iran’s government.
The reports arrive amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, with both countries continuing to exchange strikes, according to Mint. No official statements from Mossad or the governments involved are cited in these accounts, and the specific details of the alleged plan and its scope are not independently confirmed within the provided coverage.
