Mossad Chief Warns: Iran's Destruction Plan Is Still "Right Around the Corner"

Six months after the war with Iran began with a surprise Israeli strike, Mossad Director David (Dedi) Barnea made it clear that the broader campaign against the Revolutionary Guards is far from over.

Addressing the nuclear issue, Barnea noted that while the Ayatollah regime woke up in a single moment to find itself completely exposed and penetrated, it has not abandoned its ambition to destroy the State of Israel. He warned that Tehran believes it can deceive the world once again to secure another unfavorable nuclear agreement.

Barnea also revealed tonight that Iran was directly involved in the recent terror attack in Australia. Sending a sharp message to Tehran, he vowed that the Mossad would settle the score with those responsible, stating that the criminal concept of targeting innocent civilians remains at the core of the current regime's security strategy. This assessment comes despite recent claims by US President Donald Trump that Iran’s nuclear program had been completely destroyed.

Offering condolences to the families of the victims in Sydney, the Mossad chief emphasized that Global Jihad and ISIS elements have also resolved to target Jews worldwide. He asserted that while these attacks aim to break the Israeli spirit, they will fail. "We will find the attackers and their Iranian dispatchers wherever they flee," Barnea promised. "Justice will be seen and done. Light will overcome darkness."

Barnea also paid tribute to the agency's outstanding personnel, referring to the "Magnificent Twelve" chosen for excellence. He praised their dedication over the last two years, noting their sacrifices away from their families to ensure success on the covert battlefield.

Meanwhile, Beni Sabti, an Iran researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), expressed strong support for the reported appointment of Roman Gofman to a senior intelligence role. Speaking on local radio, Sabti described the Mossad as highly professional and noted that Gofman’s background makes him uniquely suited for the challenge, describing him as someone with "a knife between his teeth."

Sabti also commented on the Australian attack, suggesting clear Iranian fingerprints. He pointed to previous incidents involving the expelled son of an Iranian ambassador and the Quds Force's long-standing strategy of establishing centers in Europe and Australia to incite violence against Jewish targets.
