David Barnea, the outgoing Director of Mossad, declared that Israel's campaign against Iran will remain active until the current 'extremist regime' is replaced. Speaking at the agency's Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, Barnea linked the ongoing conflict to the future of the Islamic Republic, stating, 'Our commitment will be fulfilled only when this extremist regime is replaced.' He highlighted the existential threat posed by Iran's nuclear program and expanding ballistic missile arsenal, which he described as a danger to Israeli civilians. Barnea noted that military operations, including airstrikes in June 2025, were necessary responses to these threats. He emphasized that the end of active fighting does not equate to the completion of their mission, as operational planning has accounted for a prolonged conflict. As he prepares to step down on June 2, Barnea mentioned that Mossad operatives have been active within Iran, providing critical intelligence to the Israeli Air Force to target missile threats.
