Iran alarm claim from Axios: Mossad Director in the USA

Axios reported that the visit took place at a time when interim Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was putting pressure on Trump to restart attacks on Iran, citing three unnamed sources.

The news stated that Gofman, one of Netanyahu's closest advisors, met with US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Ratcliffe in Washington, and that the Mossad Director is expected to go to Miami to meet with Trump's special representative Steve Witkoff.

The news noted that Mossad, CIA and the White House declined to comment on the issue.

It was stated in the news that Trump and Netanyahu last discussed possible attacks against Iran in a phone call on November 5, and that the US President evaluated whether an agreement was possible and decided to continue the naval blockade and economic pressure on Iran by siding with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.

The possibility of resuming attacks against Iran is one of the most important items on the agenda in Israel, where elections are held on October 27.

Following the elections, the Israeli press claimed that Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir objected to Netanyahu's plans to attack Iran and had a disagreement on this issue, but claimed that Netanyahu intended to attack Iran.

Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot, who was assigned to form a government in Israel, warned Netanyahu not to take non-urgent military actions and held a bilateral security meeting.
