The Story in Brief
Mossad director Roman Gofman has removed two senior officials linked to a reported plan to topple Iran’s Islamic Republic, India Today reports, citing Israel’s Channel 12. The proposal involved Israeli strikes on Iranian Revolutionary Guard positions near the Iraqi border, followed by a Kurdish-led uprising that could spread nationwide. It was discussed at senior Israeli government levels but was never implemented. The departures were reportedly mutually agreed as part of a wider restructuring, and both officials will retain roles in Mossad.
The plan lost momentum after leaks, opposition from Kurdish groups and Turkey, and warnings to US President Donald Trump that predictions of Iran’s imminent collapse were too optimistic. Iran separately announced the arrest of 21 alleged Mossad-linked people in Kerman Province, without releasing evidence or identities. Neither Israel nor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has confirmed the reported transition claims.
The Indian Opinion
Claims of a ready-made Iranian uprising, or of a clean Israeli intelligence victory, both run ahead of the available evidence. The reported strategy depended on uncertain Kurdish participation, assumed a nationwide revolt and was never put into action. Tehran’s arrest announcement also lacks publicly provided evidence. The useful test is not dramatic briefings but whether either side produces verifiable documents, identities or independent confirmation of the alleged operation.
