The head of Israel's foreign intelligence agency, Mossad, has presented regime change in Iran as a goal of the organization.

David Barnea, Director of Mossad, stated at a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, "Mossad has conducted operations in the heart of Tehran, providing precision intelligence to the Air Force. Through this, we have struck missiles that threaten Israel," emphasizing its achievements.

He added, "Mossad's responsibility will only end when the radical regime in Iran is replaced," and "I do not believe this mission will be immediately completed just because the fighting has ended."

He also emphasized, "We have meticulously planned operations to continue achieving results even after the airstrikes in Tehran," and "We will never stand idly by in the face of existential threats."

In this war, the Israeli military, with intelligence support from Mossad, has assassinated numerous leaders, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani, and Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed Major General Roman Goffman, his military aide, as the next Director of Mossad, succeeding Director Barnea in June.
