David Barnea will visit the United States in early September
The head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency will visit the United States in early September for talks on the possible revival of the Iran nuclear deal, an official said Sunday.
The announced visit is the latest in the Jewish state's push to sway Western powers from a deal to return to the landmark 2015 deal with Tehran.
Israeli leaders say a deal would facilitate the funding of Iran-supported militants, while not preventing Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon - a goal Iran has always denied.
Mossad chief David Barnea will "be visiting Washington in a week to participate in closed door meetings in Congress on the Iran deal," a senior Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity, without providing further details.
