In this conversation, Sagiv Asulin, a former Mossad operative, argues that the Iranian regime is entering a clear and accelerating phase of collapse driven by internal decay rather than external military pressure. He points to unprecedented nationwide protests, a young generation that is increasingly secular and openly hostile to clerical rule, and a regime that is steadily losing legitimacy, cohesion, and fear-based control. Reflecting on the lessons of October 7, Asulin discusses how intelligence blind spots forced Israel to reassess long-held assumptions, while also correcting misconceptions about Mossad’s role and limitations. He highlights Qatar’s influence as a major driver of regional propaganda and instability, and concludes that shifts in leadership and strategic thinking are essential as Iran’s old order weakens and the end of the regime moves from speculation to a near-term reality.
