One of the reports relates to operations in Iran during the "With a Lion" mission. According to the report, Mossad deployed Iranian agents in the opening attack. The agents used special missiles against targets in Iran. They fired missiles within Iranian territory. Mossad also had a plan to target the nuclear facility in Fordo. But the plan was never implemented.
During Barnea's tenure, Mossad established the "Influence Division." The division's goal was to spark internal resistance against the Iranian regime. There were also many secret operations that were not disclosed. Barnea led significant changes. However, there was also criticism of some of his actions from senior officials in Mossad and the IDF.
