Mossad chief axes two senior officials over unexecuted Iran regime-change plan
TL;DR
Mossad Director Roman Gofman removed two senior officials tied to a clandestine plan to replace Iran's regime that was never carried out as intended. The moves are part of a broader Mossad reorganization, with the secret Mossad-CIA proposal reportedly involving Kurdish forces entering Iran under air cover and at one point noting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a potential leader; the plan was not implemented after being presented to Donald Trump. The officials may take other roles within the agency.
