Report: Mossad chief visits Washington for Iran talks with Trump officials
According to i24NEWS citing Axios, Mossad director Roman Gofman was in Washington on Friday for talks on Iran with senior officials in the Donald Trump administration. The outlet reported that Gofman met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and was expected to travel to Miami for discussions with Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff. The visit occurs amid Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to persuade Trump to renew military action against Iran, though Trump reportedly favors continued economic pressure and a blockade of Iranian ports. Separately, MK Gadi Eisenkot called for close oversight of the government during the transition, warning that national security must not be exploited for political gain.
