Mossad chief Roman Gofman reportedly travelled to Washington on 13 November to discuss the war with Iran with senior US officials, including CIA director John Ratcliffe. As Benjamin Netanyahu urges Donald Trump to resume strikes, Trump is for now favouring economic pressure and a naval blockade, according to the Zambian Observer.

Mossad director Roman Gofman travelled to Washington on 13 November for talks with senior Trump administration officials in the context of the war with Iran, according to the Zambian Observer. A meeting with CIA director John Ratcliffe was reported.

Roman Gofman was also expected to travel to Miami to discuss matters with White House envoy Steve Witkoff, according to the Zambian Observer. Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing Donald Trump to resume military operations against Iran, while the US president is for now favouring economic pressure and a naval blockade while keeping the diplomatic path open.

No US decision to resume military operations against Iran has been announced. The talks between Israeli and US officials come as the two governments assess their next steps towards Tehran, the Zambian Observer reports.

The visit comes after Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly discussed, on 14 November, resuming strikes against Iran. It also comes after reports the same day that the Mossad had alerted the CIA about an Iranian plot targeting Donald Trump, according to Israel Hayom.
