Overview
- Roman Gofman, who became Mossad director in June, made a reported visit to Washington to meet senior U.S. officials and CIA director John Ratcliffe.
- According to sources, the meetings focused on aligning U.S. and Israeli assessments of Iran’s nuclear programme and on coordinating responses to Tehran’s maritime actions.
- Reporters say Ratcliffe warned that Tehran might interpret past agreements differently, a view that has fed U.S. caution about negotiations and contingency planning.
- Neither the CIA nor Mossad has publicly confirmed the meetings, and the key details reported so far come from unnamed sources.
- The reported talks build on decades of CIA–Mossad cooperation and come as U.S. and Israeli officials weigh options that range from renewed diplomatic pushes to wider military coordination.
