Mossad Chief Visits US Amid Reports of Renewed Iran Campaign

Mossad Chief Roman Gofman is visiting the United States on Friday, meeting with senior administration officials. The visit, first reported by Axios, comes amid Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's desire to renew operations against Iran. The Mossad declined to comment on the report.

This development follows recent updates from US Central Command to Israeli military representatives in the United States, informing them to prepare for the possibility of a renewed campaign against Iran. According to a US official, security channels are conveying messages to Israel and Gulf states that they should be ready for the potential resumption of conflict with Iran soon.

These messages appear to contradict recent statements by President Trump, who has indicated he does not see a need to restart military action against Iran. Despite these statements, the US continues to move assets to the Middle East. Currently, the US has approximately 200 refueling aircraft stationed in bases across the Middle East and Europe. For the first time since June, two aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington and USS George H.W. Bush, are operating in the region, with a third, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week. Thousands of American soldiers are also operating air defense systems at US bases in the Middle East.

US Ambassador to Israel Hackaby stated that an attack on Iran remains a possibility.
