Mossad chief removes two senior officials over failures on the Iran file

According to Israel's Channel 12, reported by Donya-e-Eqtesad on Thursday, 15 Mordad 1405 (6 August 2026), the head of Mossad, Israel's foreign intelligence agency, removed two senior division chiefs over failures on the Iran file. The Times of Israel reported the same day, citing similar accounts, that the officials removed were linked to a now shelved plan for regime change in Iran.

Further details on the identities of the officials or the exact timing of the decision have not yet been published. The report comes as attention remains on Iran and Israel's intelligence and security dossier alongside the ongoing Iran Oman talks over the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear file.
