Israel and US are determined to thwart Iran

Israel and the United States are determined to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions and its influence in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday after meeting U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This was reported by the "Reuters".

Speaking after meeting Rubio in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said they discussed a number of issues, "none more important than Iran".

"Israel and America stand shoulder to shoulder in countering the threat of Iran," he said. "We agreed that the ayatollahs must not have nuclear weapons and also agreed that Iran's aggression in the region must be rolled back."

Rubio said: "Behind every terrorist group, behind every act of violence, behind every destabilising activity, behind everything that threatens peace and stability for the millions of people that call this region home is Iran."

Israeli-Iranian enmity stretches back decades through a history of clandestine wars and attacks by land, sea, air and cyberspace.

Iran, which says it is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes, has also backed groups across the Middle East that describe themselves as the "Axis of Resistance" to Israel and U.S. influence in the region. Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Axis includes not only Hamas, the Palestinian group that ignited the Gaza war by attacking Israel in October 2023, but also the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen, and various Shi'ite Muslim armed groups in Iraq and Syria.

Iran denies that it closely directs its proxies in their attacks, saying that they act on their own initiative.
