Mossad Chief's Secret Assessment: Toppling Iran Regime Possible Before Tehran Strike

• Mossad chief David Barnea assessed that the Iranian regime could be toppled if leadership and state institutions were severely weakened, potentially triggering a public uprising.
• Barnea reportedly told political leadership that achieving key military goals could lead Mossad and the CIA to help Iranians find an alternative to the regime.
• Both Netanyahu and Donald Trump addressed the Iranian people, suggesting the operation could create conditions for regime fall, but emphasized it depended on the Iranian people.
• The US and Israel have since focused on Iran's military capabilities, including nuclear and ballistic missile programs, rather than explicitly committing to regime change.
• Netanyahu stated the war's goals include ending nuclear and ballistic missile threats and creating conditions for the Iranian people to achieve freedom, noting "signs" of the regime cracking.
