Mossad chief Gofman ousts two senior officials over failed Iran regime-change plan

Mossad Director Roman Gofman has removed two senior officials from their posts following the failure of a joint Mossad-CIA plan to replace Iran's regime. The ousted figures, who led the Intelligence Directorate and the Iran division, had drafted a strategy involving Kurdish ground forces and Iranian minorities to overthrow the Islamic Republic. The plan, which was presented to US President Donald Trump, collapsed after an Israeli airstrike on former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s residence in Tehran wounded him and caused him to withdraw support. Security sources describe the move as part of a broader reorganization, though N12 links it directly to accountability for the unimplemented strategy.

Ahmadinejad Registers for Iran's Presidential Election

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has registered as a candidate for the upcoming presidential election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. Ahmadinejad's candidacy puts pressure on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as Ahmadinejad previously challenged his authority. The election, scheduled for June 28, has seen other notable registrations, but it remains uncertain who will be allowed to run. Ahmadinejad, a polarizing figure, remains popular among the poor despite his controversial past and allegations of corruption.

Ahmadinejad Registers as Candidate for Iran's June 28 Presidential Election

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other notable figures, including moderate Ali Larijani and ultraconservative Saeed Jalili, have registered to run in the upcoming presidential election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi. The Guardian Council will vet the candidates, with the final list to be announced on June 11.

Ahmadinejad's relationship with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been strained due to his calls for checks on Khamenei's authority and demands for free elections.
