Roman Gofman, the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, is currently in Washington D.C. for talks with senior officials in the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump concerning the conflict with Iran. According to the American outlet Axios, citing three informed sources, Gofman is scheduled to meet with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Axios also reported that Gofman is expected to travel to Miami to meet with White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Gofman, described as a close confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is visiting at a time when Netanyahu is pressuring Trump to resume military operations against Iran.

However, the U.S. outlet quoted a U.S. official stating that Trump has so far rejected Netanyahu's calls to restart military actions against Iran. In a related context, Axios cited a source indicating that Gadi Eisenkot does not believe the current situation warrants immediate military action against Iran.
