The head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, Roman Gofman, is visiting Washington for talks with senior officials in the US administration regarding a potential resumption of military operations against Iran. Gofman is scheduled to meet with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and White House envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami. The visit comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to persuade President Donald Trump to restart military engagement with Tehran, though the two sides reportedly hold differing views on the matter. Axios reported that Netanyahu and Trump discussed the issue during a phone call on November 5, but the US president has not yet agreed to Israel's pressure for renewed military action. Sources familiar with the matter told Axios that Gofman's visit is part of ongoing security and intelligence discussions between the two countries concerning developments related to Iran. The Mossad, CIA, and the White House declined to comment on the visit.
