- Roman Gofman, the new director of Israel's Mossad spy agency, visited Washington two weeks ago for discussions on the war in Iran and Iran's nuclear program
- Two sources with knowledge disclosed the trip and the subject matter of the talks
- Gofman is one of the closest advisers to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Why it matters: Gofman, confirmed by just two sources, ranks as one of Netanyahu's closest advisers — making his Washington visit a direct channel from Netanyahu's inner circle to US officials on both the Iran war and the nuclear file simultaneously.
