Iran regime change likely to take a year, Mossad chief Barnea predicts

Mossad Director David Barnea predicts that regime change in Iran is likely to take about a year. During a cabinet meeting, he acknowledged various scenarios, but one year seemed most probable.

Recently, anonymous sources have criticized Barnea, suggesting he misled Israeli and US officials regarding the timeline for this change. These leaks appear aimed at discrediting him amid frustrations over the lack of immediate results.

While Barnea is noted for his caution in predictions, reports indicate he might have told Prime Minister Netanyahu that the Mossad could galvanize Iranian opposition soon after war begins. Yet, concerns about military action and the risks involved remain.
