The head of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) visited Washington this week to brief US officials on intelligence assessments related to Iran, Israeli media reported Thursday. Israel’s Channel 12 said Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder traveled to the US capital to provide the administration of President Donald Trump with specific intelligence it had requested regarding Iran. According to a source familiar with the visit, the discussions focused on intelligence evaluations concerning Iran, as Washington steps up military preparedness amid rising regional tensions. In recent days, Israel has placed its military on heightened alert, amid concerns that any US military action against Iran could prompt retaliatory strikes targeting Israeli interests. According to the report, US officials expect the ongoing military buildup in the Gulf to be completed in the coming days.
