Exclusive: The Mossad Armed Kurdish Fighters With Weapons Seized From Hamas and Hezbollah

New details have emerged about a plan to topple Iran's ayatollah regime: Israel and the United States prepared an outline under which thousands of Kurdish fighters from Iraq were supposed to cross into Iranian territory. As part of the preparations, the Mossad supplied the Kurds with weapons and ammunition confiscated from Hamas and Hezbollah.

Weapons seized from Hamas in the Gaza Strip and from Hezbollah in Lebanon were transferred to Kurdish militias in eastern Iraq, with the goal of undermining the Iranian regime from within. The details were revealed today (Thursday), with the approval of the military censor, by reporter Amit Segal.

According to the report, the plan included thousands of Kurdish fighters trained by the Mossad and other covert organizations, and armed with weapons confiscated from Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north. The central idea was to turn the Iranian regime's enemies into a direct pressure point against it, using spoils captured from terror organizations identified with the Iranian axis itself.

According to the report, as part of the ambitious plan, Kurdish militias from eastern Iraq were meant to invade Iran, liberate Kurdish areas inside the country, and push eastward while igniting additional centers of rebellion. At the same time, the IDF began striking Revolutionary Guard bases in the border region in order to prepare the ground for the ground move.

The intention was to activate a significant Kurdish force inside Iran, alongside additional armed minority groups, in order to destabilize the rule of the ayatollahs from within. This was meant to provide what had until then been missing to complete the pressure campaign against Tehran: a ground invasion force.

But the plan was stopped at the last minute. Just as the move was about to get underway, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan placed an angry phone call to U.S. President Donald Trump. Erdogan, who strongly opposes any strengthening of Kurdish forces in the region, convinced Trump to back away from his approval of the plan, and the initiative was halted before it could be carried out.
