Mossad Director dismisses senior officials over failed Iran regime overthrow plan

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

N12's Avraham: Mossad Director Roman Gofman is dismissing two of the organization's most senior officials, the head of the Intelligence Directorate and the head of the Iran Division. The move follows the failure of an operational plan they devised to overthrow Iran's ayatollah regime. Security sources say the two will remain in the Mossad in other roles. Their departure is framed as part of a reorganization, though Gofman's view is that those who drafted the failed plan should pay the price.
