Mossad director Roman Gofman was in Washington on Friday for talks with senior Trump administration officials about the war with Iran, Anadolu Agency reported, citing three sources familiar with the matter quoted by Axios.
Gofman met CIA Director John Ratcliffe and was also expected to travel to Miami for talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff, according to the report.
Mossad, the CIA and the White House declined to comment, Axios reported.
The visit comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presses US President Donald Trump to resume the war against Iran, the report said.
Trump said on Thursday that he could use military force against Iran “right now” if US allies or ships were threatened. Asked in an interview with the Salem News Channel whether he would hesitate to use force against Iran, Trump replied: “No hesitation. We’re doing very well with it right now.”
“But the answer is, if I saw things going the other way, I would do that, and it’s possible I would do it right now,” he added.
The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28. Tehran retaliated with missile and drone attacks against Israel and targets in the Gulf region, where US military bases are located, and effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy supplies.
A memorandum of understanding signed in June was intended to pave the way for a final peace agreement. The process collapsed amid disagreements, including over navigation through the strait.
