Outgoing Mossad chief urges regime change in Iran

Jun 2, 2026, 07:23 GMT+1Updated: 10:42 GMT+1

Outgoing Mossad chief David Barnea said Israel should remain committed to toppling Iran’s ruling system.

Speaking at a retirement ceremony late Monday, Barnea said the Islamic Republic was at its weakest after the recent war and that Israel should “complete the job.”

“I believed, and I still believe, that a change in the reality in Iran by virtue of toppling the regime is a possible and achievable goal,” Barnea said.

He said such a goal would require “persistence, a cool head, and commitment to the mission.”

“This mission must remain as our top priority,” he added.
