Israel's Mossad chief Roman Gofman is visiting Washington on Friday for talks with senior US officials as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presses President Donald Trump to resume military operations against Iran, Axios reported, citing three informed sources.
Gofman, a close confidant of Netanyahu, is meeting CIA Director John Ratcliffe and is expected to meet White House envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami, according to the report.
Trump has so far resisted Netanyahu's calls to restart the war, favoring continued naval and economic pressure on Tehran while exploring a possible diplomatic agreement.
"I could end it immediately," Trump said on Thursday, explaining that regional countries had urged him to maintain the current approach.
"Saudi Arabia has asked me to please just let it be the way it is now for a while, because [Iran is] disintegrating," he added.
