IDF and Mossad chiefs recently visited US for 'advice' on dealing with Iran

IDF Intelligence Chief Maj.-Gen. Shlomi Binder and Mossad Director David Barnea visited the US to discuss strategies regarding Iran. Barnea arrived on January 16, following a critical call between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, where Netanyahu urged against immediate military action until more US forces were present.

Binder met with US military leaders coinciding with the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln in the region. Israeli officials shared intelligence on potential Iranian targets, while Saudi officials sought diplomatic solutions. The IDF mainly focuses on military strategies, while the Mossad deals with nuclear issues and public sentiment within Iran.
