Mossad chief visits Washington as Netanyahu pushes Trump to resume Iran war

Mossad director Roman Gofman is in Washington to discuss the Iran conflict with US officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe. This visit occurs as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges President Donald Trump to resume military strikes against Iran, a move Trump has so far rejected in favor of diplomatic and economic pressure. Netanyahu faces a political crisis after losing his parliamentary majority, with opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot tasked with forming a new government. While Israel’s caretaker government retains legal authority to act, US allies and Israeli military leaders oppose renewed conflict, fearing it is a political maneuver to block Eisenkot’s coalition efforts.

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.
