Netanyahu Presses Trump to Resume Military Action Against Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stepped up pressure on US President Donald Trump to resume military action against Iran. Mossad chief Roman Goffman arrives in Washington on Friday (October 13, 2026). US news website Axios reports that he will meet CIA Director John Ratcliffe and then travel to Miami for talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff. The Mossad chief's visit comes as a report claims that Netanyahu and Trump have had a heated exchange over the phone over the Iran war. However, Netanyahu's office calls those reports fake. Trump and Netanyahu's statements about Iran in recent days have been marked by sharp contrasts. After meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Thani Al Thani, Trump is said to be holding a new round of talks with Iran.
