Israeli Mossad's deputy chief dismissed after Iran regime-change operation failure

A senior leadership shake-up has taken place within Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, following a failure to achieve objectives related to political change in Iran, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Sunday.

According to a US news website, the newly appointed head of Mossad has dismissed the agency's deputy chief amid growing scrutiny of operations linked to Iran.

The report claimed that the deputy had been assigned responsibility for efforts aimed at bringing about political change in Iran.

The publication further alleged that hundreds of agents and a budget of one billion shekels had been allocated to the initiative during the previous year.

However, the report did not provide further details regarding the operation or the reasons behind its reported failure.

The reported dismissal is being viewed as part of a broader restructuring within the Israeli intelligence agency.

According to the same source, additional senior officials could also be required to resign as internal reviews continue.
