Erbil, Nov. 30 (AKnews) – In one of the  secret cables released by the Wikileaks and published on Britian's  Guardian website,Israel's spy chief Meir Dagan advised the U.S. to  "strike at the heart of Iran" and change the regime by exploiting weak  spots, including developing the identities of minorities like the Kurds.
 
Dagan  points out that the US and Israel can exploit Iran's weak spots to  bring the country to down its knees and change the Islamic regime  including the use of regional pressure, using the support of the  minority groups like the Kurds, exploiting unemployment in the country. 
Israel  and the U.S. could "change the ruling regime in Iran, and its attitude  towards backing terror regimes" Dagan is said to have stressed in a  meeting between him and U.S. undersecretary of state Nick Burns in August 2007. "We  could also get them to delay their nuclear project. Iran could become a  normal state"
He advised the US to do more to instigate regime  change in Iran, "possibly with the support of student democracy  movements, and ethnic groups" including the Kurds, Azeris, and Baluchs  opposed to the ruling regime, by engaging directly with them. "Voice of  America (VOA) broadcasts are important, but more radio transmissions in  Farsi are needed,"
The minorities are raising their heads, and  are tempted to resort to violence, according to the cable. He also  suggests that more could be done to get the Europeans to take tougher  stands against Iran – with Israel's help.
The Israeli spy chief  says in the cable that "pressure on Iran is building up, but said this  approach alone will not resolve the crisis… Coordination with the Gulf  states is helpful, but the U.S. should also coordinate with Azerbaijan  and countries to the north of Iran, to put pressure on Iran,"
According  to Dagan's information, unemployment rate in Iran exceeds 30 percent  nationwide, while some towns and villages experiencing a 50 percent  rate, especially among 17-30 year olds. 
"People are criticizing  the government for investing in and sponsoring Hamas, saying that they  government should invest in Iran itself" as Daqan puts it, "and this is  provoking a real crisis among Iran's leaders." 
"Three Iranian  banks are on the verge of collapse. The financial sanctions are having a  nationwide impact. Iran's regime can no longer just deal with the  bankers themselves." Dagan told Burns.
