According to him, Israel and the United States sought to replace the regime in Iran. According to the plan, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was supposed to return and lead the country.
Hayman mentioned that the plan was part of a series of special operations. One of its key phases involved actions by the Kurds in the region.
According to him, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan opposed the plan. He feared strengthening the Kurds, and therefore approached U.S. President Donald Trump.
Hayman said that Erdoğan succeeded in convincing Trump to cancel the initiative. As a result, the plan was not carried out.
In the interview, Hayman added that most details of the operations are still classified. He also claimed that Israel initially did not plan to attack Iran.
According to him, Trump surprised Israel when he expressed a desire to attack Iran. Only later did Israel begin planning additional steps.
