Mossad Chief Pushes Back: "The Mission in Iran Isn’t Finished—we never expected it to end when the fighting calmed"

Dedi Barnea, Israel’s Mossad chief, pushed back against criticism and media reports suggesting the agency misled U.S. President Donald Trump into believing Iran’s regime would fall in the first days of the war. He emphasized that the agency’s work is ongoing and measured in longer arcs, not quick victories. What Barnea said "The mission in Iran has not yet been achieved; we did not think it would be completed when the fighting subsided." Inside Tehran Barnea confirmed that the Mossad operated in the heart of Tehran and provided precise intelligence for the Israeli Air Force. כ
