Mossad Director Dadi Barnea declared Tuesday that Israel’s operations against Iran will end “only once the extremist regime in Iran is replaced.” 

Barnea made the remark during a Holocaust commemoration event, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

“We meticulously planned so that our operations would continue and manifest themselves even in the period following the strikes in Tehran,” Barnea reportedly said. “Our commitment will be fulfilled only once the extremist regime in Iran is replaced.” 

“Forty days of intense combat have led to highly significant achievements, foremost among them a blow to the enemy’s central objective — the destruction of the State of Israel,” Barnea added, according to Ynetnews. “However, our mission has not yet been completed.”
