U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin emphasized strengthening the alliance in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but did not mention Iran, which Prime Minister Netanyahu accused by name, and returned to Iran in an attempt to return to the nuclear agreement. It seems to have been a bleeding consideration.
US Secretary of Defense Austin, who is visiting the Middle East and Europe, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on the 12th.
In this, Prime Minister Netanyahu accused Iran of the threat by name seven times and agreed that "Iran's possession of nuclear weapons should not be allowed. Israel protects the country from Iran's invasion and terrorism. I will continue, "he said, revealing his opposition to Iran.
In response, Austin said, "A close and strong relationship with Israel is central to the stability and security of the Middle East and must continue to enhance its strategic relationship," stressing the idea of strengthening the alliance. On the other hand, he did not mention Iran, which Prime Minister Netanyahu accused.
Israel, which has an alliance with the United States, opposes the Biden administration's aim to return to the Iran nuclear agreement, but the United States considers Iran during indirect talks with Iran. It seems that it was smeared.
