Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (Mossad) Director David Barnea said that the agency’s mission in Iran will only end after the political “regime” in Iran is changed.
“But our mission has yet to be completed. We didn’t think that this mission would be completed immediately with the end of the battles. But we planned intensively for our campaign to continue and achieve results even in the period after the strikes in Tehran … (the mission will be completed) only when this radical regime is replaced,” Barnea was quoted as saying by The Times of Israel newspaper on Tuesday.
