Mossad chief visits US for talks on Iran - Axios

The head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, David Barnea, arrived in the United States on Friday for consultations on the situation in Iran, Axios reported citing an Israeli source and another person familiar with the matter.

The visit comes amid discussions between Washington and Israel over the protests in Iran and the possibility of US military action in response to Tehran’s crackdown, according to Axios.

Barnea is expected to meet US officials, including White House envoy Steve Witkoff, who has been handling a direct channel of communication with Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, the report said.

It was not immediately clear whether Barnea would meet President Donald Trump during his visit.
