Mossad chief Barnea believed the organization could spark an uprising in Iran and topple the Regime just a short time after the war would start, the New York Times reported Sunday.

According to the New York Times, Prime Minister Netanyahu adopted Barnea’s plan, presented it to US officials and convinced President Trump. However, senior US and Israeli officials doubted it would actually work.

Another report claims that the Mossad gave PM Netanyahu a plan for sparking an uprising, which has yet to be materialized. That report claims that the US isn’t supportive anymore of a Kurdish proxy force.
