Mossad chief visits Washington to press for Iran policy shift

According to Ynet, Mossad Director Roman Gofman visited Washington on Friday for talks with senior Trump administration officials. Citing Axios, the report states that the visit is part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to persuade the U.S. president to resume military action against Tehran. Gofman met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and is expected to meet with White House envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami. Meanwhile, Israeli military analysts note that defense officials see no immediate operational need to strike Iran and prefer that any future campaign be conducted alongside the United States with broad political backing. It was also reported that neither Israeli nor U.S. intelligence agencies possess evidence that Iran currently possesses a weapon posing an existential threat to Israel.
