Israeli publication Ynet reports that Israel, prior to the outbreak of the current war, had a plan to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. The alleged plan involved Mossad sparking protests within Iran and an invasion by Kurdish militant groups. However, the report claims President Donald Trump vetoed the plan hours before the war began. Ynet's claim that Israel never attempted to overthrow the Iranian government appears to contradict earlier war aims and narratives.
