Mossad Chief's Secret Assessment: Toppling Iran Regime Possible Before Tehran Strike
•Mossad chief David Barnea assessed that the Iranian regime could be toppled if leadership and state institutions were severely weakened, potentially triggering a public uprising.
•Barnea reportedly told political leadership that achieving key military goals could lead Mossad and the CIA to help Iranians find an alternative to the regime.
•Both Netanyahu and Donald Trump addressed the Iranian people, suggesting the operation could create conditions for regime fall, but emphasized it depended on the Iranian people.
•The US and Israel have since focused on Iran's military capabilities, including nuclear and ballistic missile programs, rather than explicitly committing to regime change.
•Netanyahu stated the war's goals include ending nuclear and ballistic missile threats and creating conditions for the Iranian people to achieve freedom, noting "signs" of the regime cracking.
