David Barnea, Director of the Mossad, stated on Tuesday in his first public remarks on the recent joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran that the operation delivered a severe blow to the Islamic Republic.<\/h6>\n

Kabul 24<\/a>: However, he stressed that Israel\u2019s mission remains incomplete and will only be fulfilled with the replacement of the current Iranian regime.Speaking at a Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) ceremony, Barnea declared: \u201cOur mission is not yet complete.<\/p>\n

We did not believe that this mission would end immediately once the fighting subsided. Instead, we planned and prepared for the campaign to continue, and this will be reflected even in the period following the strikes on Tehran.\u201dBarnea emphasized that the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes significantly degraded Iran\u2019s nuclear and missile capabilities, reshaping the regional security landscape.<\/p>\n

He noted that Mossad operated \u201cin the heart of Tehran,\u201d providing precise intelligence that enabled the Israeli Air Force to target critical sites, including ballistic missiles that posed an existential threat to Israel.<\/p>\n

In response to domestic criticism, including comments from Shas leader Aryeh Deri suggesting the Mossad was responsible for achieving regime change, Barnea made it clear that the agency\u2019s commitment extends far beyond the military phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur responsibility will only end when this extremist regime is replaced,\u201d he said. \u201cRegime change in Iran is our mission. We will not stand by silently in the face of another existential threat \u2014 a regime that has made the destruction of the Jewish state its guiding principle.\u201dThe Mossad<\/a> chief added that Israel and the United States acted decisively for the benefit of global security against a regime that repeatedly threatens Israel\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

He linked the lessons of the Holocaust to Israel\u2019s current resolve, stating that the Jewish state refuses to remain passive when facing threats of annihilation.These remarks come amid a fragile ceasefire between the parties, with ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, senior Israeli officials have repeatedly indicated that their long-term goal includes creating conditions for the collapse of Iran\u2019s clerical regime, allowing the Iranian people an opportunity to determine a different future.<\/p>\n

Barnea concluded by reaffirming that Mossad\u2019s intelligence and operational activities inside Iran and beyond will persist until the threat is fully eliminated.<\/p>\n
