rte.ieA reported Israeli plan called for using Kurdish ground forces, backed by Israeli air cover and weapons taken from Hamas and Hezbollah, to topple the Iranian regime. Mossad chief Barnea assessed that 8 million Kurds, Sunnis and Baluchis could have triggered an avalanche of internal collapse, according to the report.
The plan was reportedly vetoed after someone leaked details to Turkish officials. Israeli sources attributed the leak to JD Vance, while Vance's office denied involvement.
Mossad's current view is that maintaining the blockade could lead to the regime's fall, while lifting it for a deal would preserve the regime. The report is based on information from the Jerusalem Post.
