据一位以色列消息人士和另一位知情人士透露，以色列摩萨德情报机构负责人大卫·巴尼亚于周五抵达美国，就伊朗问题举行高级别会谈。
据Axios报道，巴尼亚此次访问正值美以两国就伊朗国内动荡局势以及美国可能采取军事行动以回应伊朗政权暴力镇压抗议者之际，双方正在加紧磋商。
巴尼亚预计将在迈阿密会见白宫特使史蒂夫·威特科夫，威特科夫负责华盛顿和德黑兰之间的直接沟通渠道。
随着抗议活动在伊朗全国蔓延，威特科夫一直与伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇保持联系。
目前尚不清楚巴尼亚是否会在周末于海湖庄园与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普会面。
此前，特朗普于周三与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡通了电话，重点讨论了迅速演变的伊朗危机。
据一位以色列消息人士透露，在通话中，内塔尼亚胡请求特朗普推迟任何军事行动，以便以色列有更多时间应对伊朗可能采取的报复行动。
该消息人士称，以色列还担心，美国目前的计划（据报道包括对伊朗安全部队发动袭击）力度不够，不足以真正动摇伊朗政权的稳定。
美国官员表示，如果伊朗恢复对示威者的杀戮，军事行动仍然是一个选项。以色列官员认为，即使推迟行动，美国仍可能在未来几天内发动攻击。
与此同时，美国消息人士称，美军正在向该地区增派防御和进攻力量，以应对特朗普可能下达的命令。
“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰及其打击群正从南海前往中东。预计还将向该地区部署额外的防空系统、战斗机，甚至可能还有潜艇。
据知情人士透露，阿拉格奇已提议与维特科夫会面，并建议恢复核谈判，尽管伊朗安全部队仍在国内继续镇压。
David Barnea, director of Israel’s Mossad spy agency, arrived in the United States on Friday for high-level talks on Iran, according to an Israeli source and another source familiar with the meetings.
Barnea’s visit comes as the U.S. and Israel intensify consultations over the unrest inside Iran and the possibility of U.S. military action in response to the regime’s violent crackdown on protesters, Axios reported.
Barnea is expected to meet in Miami with White House envoy Steve Witkoff, who is overseeing the direct channel of communication between Washington and Tehran.
Witkoff has been in contact with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as protests have spread across the country.
It remains unclear whether Barnea will also meet with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend.
The trip follows a phone call on Wednesday between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, focused on the rapidly evolving Iran crisis.
During that call, Netanyahu asked Trump to delay any military action to allow Israel more time to prepare for potential Iranian retaliation, according to an Israeli source.
That source said Israel is also concerned that the current U.S. plan, which reportedly includes strikes on Iranian security forces, would not go far enough to meaningfully destabilize the regime.
U.S. officials say military action remains an option if Iran resumes the killing of protesters. Israeli officials believe that even with a delay, a U.S. strike could still take place in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military is moving additional defensive and offensive assets into the region in preparation for a possible order from Trump, U.S. sources said.
The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike group are en route to the Middle East from the South China Sea. Additional air defense systems, fighter jets, and possibly submarines are also expected to deploy to the region.
Araghchi has proposed a meeting with Witkoff and suggested resuming nuclear negotiations, according to sources familiar with the outreach, even as Iran’s security forces continue their crackdown at home.
