New York Times Exposes Alleged Israeli Plan to Trigger Unrest in Iran

A report by The New York Times has revealed details of an alleged Israeli plan aimed at triggering internal unrest in Iran amid rising regional tensions.

According to the report, Israel had hoped to incite a large-scale uprising within Iran, but those expectations failed to materialize, dealing a setback to broader strategic ambitions.

The report further claims that the plan also aligned with expectations held by Donald Trump, which ultimately did not come to fruition.

It highlights that attempts to destabilize the Iranian system through internal dissent did not yield the intended outcomes, as a widespread public uprising failed to take shape.

Analysts cited in the report pointed to strong government control and swift security crackdowns as key factors that prevented protests from escalating across the country.

The report also noted that interest in leveraging Kurdish groups inside Iran declined over time, limiting external influence on internal dynamics.

Additionally, it was revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had relied on intelligence assessments suggesting the possibility of unrest to persuade allies. However, US intelligence agencies reportedly assessed that the likelihood of regime change in Iran remained low.
