The IDF's Persian-language (Farsi) social media called on dissident Iranians to contact Mossad, in a post on X/Twitter on Wednesday.
In the post, the IDF wrote that Israel understands the "difficult situation and circumstances that the regime has created," as they have received many concerned messages from the relatives of Iranian civilians.
"Even those who identify themselves as members of the regime's security institutions express their fear, despair, and anger at what is happening in Iran and ask us to contact Israeli authorities - so that Iran does not suffer the same fate as Lebanon and Gaza," the IDF wrote.

The military also noted that any Iranians wishing to contact Mossad should ensure to use an external virtual private network (VPN) for their own security.
"We understand that you are yearning for a better future. May God Almighty be your helper and companion," the IDF's post concluded.
