Mossad chief Roman Gofman travels to Washington for talks with senior Trump administration officials on Iran

In depth

Mossad chief Roman Gofman travelled to Washington for talks with senior officials in the Trump administration on Iran. According to the reports, the visit took place against the backdrop of pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to renew the war with Iran.

Gofman, considered a close confidant of Netanyahu, met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and is expected to meet envoy Steve Witkoff as well.

Within the American administration and Trump's circle there is reservation about Netanyahu's involvement in attempts to influence decision-making. President Trump is refusing to resume fighting, while the Israeli opposition expresses concern about a military move against the backdrop of the political crisis in the country. The Mossad declined to comment on the report, and the White House did not respond.
