Israeli media have revealed new details of an unsuccessful secret plan prepared by the Israeli intelligence agency (Mossad) earlier this year to overthrow the Iranian regime, which carried the code name "Puss in Boots".
According to a report by Israel's Channel 13, the plan called for Israel to carry out military strikes targeting sites belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Iran's border with Iraq, in the Iranian Kurdistan region.
These strikes aimed to pave the way for Kurdish fighters to cross the border into Iran and advance toward Kurdish cities in the northwest of the country.
Mossad expected thousands of young Kurds to join these fighters, turning the movement into a widespread uprising that could extend all the way to Tehran.
According to the report, it was believed that the arrival of this movement in Tehran would spark mass protests involving millions of demonstrators, ultimately leading to the overthrow of the Iranian regime.
At the beginning of the war, Israel and the United States carried out intensive strikes targeting Iranian security forces, including regime officials, military bases, missile systems, police stations, and sites belonging to the "Basij" forces in northwestern Iran, in an attempt to facilitate the advance of Kurdish fighters.
However, the leak of the plan's details to the media, along with pressure exerted by Turkey and the hesitation of the Kurds themselves to proceed with it, ultimately prompted the United States to abandon its implementation, according to the report.
The report pointed out that the Kurdish offensive was one of the main elements of the plan, which also included the return of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to take power in the country.
