Israeli intelligence agency Mossad Director Roman Gofman is in Washington on Friday for talks with senior officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration regarding the war with Iran, according to an Axios report citing three sources familiar with the visit. The visit by Gofman—considered a close confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—comes as Netanyahu presses Trump to resume military operations against Iran. Gofman is scheduled to meet with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and is also expected to travel to Miami to hold talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff, according to one of the sources. Axios noted that Trump has thus far rejected Netanyahu’s pressure to return to military combat, pointing out that the two leaders discussed the war with Iran during a phone call on November 5, according to a US official. Instead, Trump has aligned with the position of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, which favors maintaining the naval blockade and economic pressure on Iran while leaving room to see whether reaching an agreement is possible.
