On April 14, David Barnea, head of Israel’s foreign intelligence agency "Mossad," stated, "Our mission in Iran will only conclude after a regime change in Iran."
Barnea said: "Our task is not yet complete, but we have never believed it would end immediately after the conflict. Our plan is that our operations will continue in the days following attacks on Tehran. Only when this regime falls will our responsibility be fulfilled."
Israeli television broadcast Barnea’s remarks.

A website reported that Norwegian defense company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has developed a new anti-drone vehicle specifically for Ukraine.
The report stated: "Kongsberg has launched a new anti-drone vehicle developed for Ukraine, integrating Ukraine’s 'Inguar-3' armored vehicle with Norway’s anti-drone technology. This platform is specially designed for Ukraine and will be delivered after the completion of the first phase of testing."
The message noted that the vehicle is based on a system capable of detecting and neutralizing drones, and in some cases, cruise missiles as well.
The website cited sources saying the vehicle has passed preliminary tests and is expected to be delivered to Ukraine "very soon." However, the exact delivery quantity was not disclosed.
Russia argues that supplying weapons to Ukraine hinders conflict resolution and directly drags NATO members into the conflict—akin to "playing with fire." Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov previously stated that any supplies containing weapons provided to Ukraine would become legitimate targets for Russia. The Kremlin has earlier claimed that Western arms deliveries to Ukraine do not assist negotiations and instead generate negative consequences.

According to Yonhap News Agency citing the South Korean Ministry of Defense, the ministry will purchase over 11,000 commercial drones as part of a broader initiative to train 500,000 drone operators within the military.
The total procurement cost is estimated at 29.6 billion KRW (approximately $20 million).
As reported by Yonhap, the South Korean Ministry of Defense’s plan to train half a million drone operators aims to create conditions under which every soldier entering service can easily master drone operation skills and obtain relevant certification.
