Mossad Chief Visits Washington for Talks on Iran Conflict

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Axios publication reported on the visit of Mossad Chief to meet with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the United States. This visit comes at a time when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is advocating for a renewed confrontation with Iran.

Axios reporter Barak Ravid announced that David Barnea, the head of Mossad, is scheduled to meet with CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Washington on Friday. It is also possible that Barnea will hold discussions with Steve Womack in Miami.

The American publication emphasized that the primary objective of the Mossad chief’s trip to Washington is to engage in conversations with senior officials of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the conflict with Iran.

The Mossad chief’s visit to the United States occurs as Netanyahu seeks to persuade Trump to recommence hostilities against Iran. However, Trump has thus far resisted this appeal, preferring to maintain maritime blockades and economic pressure against Iran.
