Revealed: The Sinister US-Israel Plan to Wage War on Iran, Meticulously Prepared by Mossad
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, WASHINGTON – The New York Times news office reported how Israel and the United States (US) initiated war against the Islamic Republic of Iran at the end of February 2026. Despite ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran at the time, the Zionist state’s action plan had already been thoroughly prepared.
As the United States and Israel prepared for war with Iran, the head of Israel’s foreign intelligence service, Mossad, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan. Mossad chief David Barnea stated that his agency would likely be able to rally Iran’s opposition, incite unrest and other acts of rebellion that could lead to the collapse of the Iranian government.
Netanyahu approved the plan. Barnea also presented the proposal to senior officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration during a visit to Washington in mid-January 2026. Despite doubts among senior US officials and some officials in other Israeli intelligence agencies, Netanyahu and Trump appeared optimistic.
Killing Iranian leaders at the start of the conflict, followed by a series of intelligence operations aimed at promoting regime change, they believed, could lead to mass rebellions that might end the war quickly. This was later reflected in Trump’s speech at the beginning of the war.
“Take over your government: It will be yours,” Trump told the Iranian people, after first saying they should seek shelter from the bombing.
Three weeks after the war began, the rebellion in Iran had not yet materialised. US and Israeli intelligence assessments concluded that the Iranian government was weakened but still intact. Widespread fear of Iran’s military and police had also dampened prospects for rebellion and for ethnic militias outside Iran to launch cross-border attacks.
The belief that Israel and the US could help spark widespread rebellion was a fundamental mistake in the war preparations that has spread across the Middle East. Instead of collapsing from within, the Iranian government strengthened its position and escalated the conflict, launching attacks and counterattacks against military bases, cities, and ships around the Persian Gulf, as well as against vulnerable oil and gas installations.
The New York Times wrote that this report is based on interviews with more than ten US, Israeli, and other foreign officials, both current and retired, most of whom spoke anonymously. The New York Times interviewed officials with varying views on the possibility of rebellion.
