Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly succeeded in\nconvincing US President Donald Trump to launch combined attacks on Iran.\nThis high-risk move was taken following sweet promises regarding a\nlightning coup scenario claimed to collapse the Tehran government in a\nshort time.<\/p>\n
An exclusive New York Times report released on Sunday (22\/03\/2026)\nrevealed that this plan was devised from the conflict preparation stage.\nAccording to anonymous sources, Mossad intelligence chief David Barnea\nproposed that Israeli spies could trigger a major uprising within\nIran.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid Barnea presented this plan to Netanyahu and several senior US\nofficials in January. He stated that Mossad had the capability to\noverthrow the Iranian government in just a matter of days after the\nattacks began,\u201d the report stated, also quoted by Russia Today.<\/p>\n
Although senior officials in Washington and Israel\u2019s Military\nIntelligence Directorate (AMAN) doubted the plan\u2019s feasibility, Trump\nand Netanyahu remained optimistic. Both targeted regime change in Iran\nby eliminating the country\u2019s top leadership.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had\nprovided a contrasting assessment of the ambitious plan. The CIA\nassessed that a total collapse of the Iranian government was a\nrelatively unlikely outcome in the near term.<\/p>\n
US officials briefed on this assessment warned that, in the most\nlikely scenario, hardline factions in Tehran would retain their power.\nThis served as a red flag that was previously ignored by the White\nHouse.<\/p>\n
Since Washington and West Jerusalem began their attacks at the end of\nFebruary, Trump has repeatedly called on the Iranian people to overthrow\ntheir own government. These calls continue amid escalating military\ntensions in the Middle East region.<\/p>\n
However, the reality on the ground shows results different from\nIsrael\u2019s initial expectations. Although several high-ranking Iranian\nofficials and commanders have been killed, including Supreme Leader Ali\nKhamenei, the Iranian government has not collapsed and remains firmly in\nplace to this day.<\/p>\n
Tehran has instead continued systematic retaliation against US and\nIsraeli assets scattered across the Middle East. The failure of this\nscenario is reported to be sparking internal tensions among the allies,\nparticularly regarding the effectiveness of Mossad\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu personally is said to have expressed frustration because\nMossad failed to follow through on the promised regime change plan.\nAdditionally, he is worried that Trump might end the war at any time\nwithout achieving their main objectives.<\/p>\n
Iran has long accused the foreign Israeli intelligence agency of\ninterfering in its internal affairs. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas\nAraghchi stated that Mossad operations were involved in deadly unrest\nthat swept the country in the winter of 2025.<\/p>\n
Araghchi said in January that those agents shot at protesters,\ncivilians, and security personnel to incite chaos. According to him,\nthey deliberately escalated the unrest with violence to give Washington\na reason for military intervention.<\/p>\n
In response to the increasingly uncontrollable situation, Russia has\nfirmly condemned the US and Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic of\nIran. Moscow urged Washington to immediately halt the physical\nconfrontation and seek resolution through diplomatic channels.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/revealed-netanyahus-charm-that-led-trump-to-attack-iran-with-this-promise-1774335078", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
