Mossad director Roman Gofman has reportedly removed two senior officials linked to an alleged plan to topple Iran’s Islamic Republic, India Today and LiveMint report, citing Israel’s Channel 12. The proposal reportedly involved Israeli strikes on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard positions, support for Kurdish groups and a wider uprising. It was discussed at senior government levels but never became operational, according to the reports. The accounts differ on the departures. India Today says they were mutually agreed as part of a restructuring and that both officials will remain in Mossad. LiveMint describes them as dismissed, amid reported disagreements with Gofman. The plan reportedly collapsed after leaks, Kurdish reservations and Turkey’s opposition. Iran separately claimed it arrested 21 alleged Mossad informants in Kerman, without providing evidence or identities.
