Iran: Mossad hatched a coup plan with Kurds

With Hamas weapons

Secret plan: This is how Israel wanted to overthrow the regime in Iran

At the beginning of the war with Iran, Trump and Netanyahu were betting on a change of leadership in Tehran. Now explosive details of the plan are becoming known.

In the first days of the war with Iran, the Israeli secret service Mossad worked on an explosive secret plan to overthrow the regime in Tehran, according to a report in the Times of Israel newspaper. The Kurdish minority in Iran should therefore open their own front against Iran’s army.

Reports that the USA and Israel were relying on the Kurds in the fight against Iran had already become known. Now the “Times of Israel” revealed a previously unknown detail. Accordingly, the Kurdish fighters should be equipped with weapons that Israel’s army had previously secured in operations against the Iran-backed radical Islamic terrorist groups Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Reports had already become public that Israel had a secret airfield in the desert of Iraq. The temporary base was probably intended to serve as a starting point for rescue missions in the war against Iran.

The war between the USA and Israel began at the end of February. US President Donald Trump initially stated the goal of regime change in Tehran. A change of power in Iran would be “the best thing,” said the US President.

The USA has great hopes for the opposition in Iran, which also includes the Kurdish minority in the Turkish-Iranian border area.

Iran expert Alex Vatanka from the Middle East Institute in Washington reported that in the first weeks after the American-Israeli attacks began, Kurdish forces massively bought up large SUVs that can also be armed with lighter guns. “The expectation was,” said Vatanka, that the fighters would “enter Kurdish cities and trigger a popular uprising in Iran.”

In addition to the Mossad, the US secret service CIA is also said to be supplying weapons to the Kurds. “The plan followed a familiar pattern: air power from above, insurgency from below,” said Vatanka.
