A report on the Israeli 24 network claims that the CIA and Mossad had a secret plan to change the Iranian government amid the early 2024 US–Iran conflict. The plan allegedly involved deploying Kurdish forces along Iran’s western border. The story also says that the US Vice‑President, referred to as "GDI and Wens", was informed and passed the information to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, leading to the plan’s collapse.
