The head of Israel's Mossad, Barnea, predicted that a regime change in Iran would likely take about a year.
David Barnea, the head of Israel's foreign intelligence service Mossad, made a striking prediction regarding expectations for regime change in Iran during his latest briefing to the cabinet.
"THE FALL OF THE REGIME IN IRAN MAY TAKE A YEAR"
Barnea stated that the overthrow of the current government in Iran and the occurrence of a fundamental change could likely take up to a year. This statement had a "cold shower" effect on the Netanyahu government and the Trump administration, which were expecting a rapid political collapse following military operations in the region.
According to news sources, Barnea emphasized that military coups or attacks alone would not be sufficient, and that a long process would be needed for the people and internal dynamics to organize for a regime change. This assessment indicates that Israel and the U.S. may have to adjust their strategies in the region to a longer-term and more cautious approach.
