The head of Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, has reportedly fired two senior officials following the failure of a strategic initiative intended to topple the Iranian leadership. According to reports from Israeli outlets Channel 12 and Haaretz, the dismissed individuals included the head of the agency's Iran division and the director of Mossad’s intelligence directorate, who had been in his position since December.

The operation in question reportedly sought to incite internal unrest by mobilizing Iran’s minority populations against the central government. While the reports characterize the effort as a failure, they do not provide specific details regarding the timeline of the operation or the reasons for its collapse beyond the stated objective of regime change. The dismissals mark a significant internal shakeup within the agency, highlighting the high-stakes nature of Israel’s covert efforts to influence political stability in Iran. As of now, official statements from the Israeli government regarding the specific nature of the operation or the reasons for the personnel changes remain limited, with the information primarily surfacing through domestic media reporting.
