WASHINGTON, November 13. /TASS/. Director of the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad Roman Gofman has arrived in Washington to discuss with US administration officials the conflict with Iran, the Axios news portal reported.

According to its sources, Gofman will meet with CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Apart from that, he is expected to fly to Miami, Florida, to hold consultations with US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff.

"The visit by Roman Gofman, one of Benjamin Netanyahu's closest confidants, comes as the Israeli prime minister is pressing President [of the US Donald] Trump to resume the war against Iran," Axios noted, recalling that Trump said on Thursday that Washington is refraining from tougher measures against Iran at the request of a number of Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding envisaging an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, the United States resumed large-scale attacks on Iran overnight to July 8, having accused it of breaching the existing agreements in what concerned the Strait of Hormuz, a global chokepoint for approximately 25% of oil and some 20% of LNG supplies.

Later, the US administration signaled that it was moving from military operations against Iran to economic suffocation through tougher sanctions.
