Israel and the United States are determined to frustrate Iran’s nuclear ambitions and their “aggression” in the Middle East, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday after a meeting with the Secretary of State of the United States Marco Rubio.
Speaking after a meeting with Rubio in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said they had had a “very productive discussion” on various issues, “nothing more important that they will go.”
“Israel and America remain shoulder with shoulder to counteract Iran’s threat,” he said. “We agree that Ayatolás should not have nuclear weapons and we also agreed that Iran’s aggression in the region must be retreced.”
Netanyahu’s statements occur after Iran’s president, Masoud fishshkian, said Thursday that his country would rebuild its nuclear facilities if it was attacked, after the reports of the United States media that Israel would probably launch a Strike in key Iranian nuclear sites.
Rubio said: “Behind each terrorist group, behind each act of violence, behind each destabilizing activity, behind everything that threatens peace and stability for the millions of people who call this region the home is Iran.”
Netanyahu said that Israel had given a “powerful blow” to Iran in the last 16 months since the beginning of his war against Gaza against Hamas and said that with Trump’s support “I have no doubt that we can and we will end the work.”
He said that Israel had weakened Hezbollah’s movement in the south of Lebanon and reached hundreds of objectives in Syria to prevent a new front allegedly backed by Iran opened against Israel.
“Now, if any other force believes that Israel will allow other hostile forces to use Syria as a base of operations against us, they are seriously wrong,” said Netanyahu.
After the Israeli army had launched strikes on Iranian military bases on October 26, 2024, to avenge a barrage of missiles by Iran, Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, warned that his country “certainly” would respond in a way “Well measured.”
The two enemies of long data had also seen heated exchanges in April 2024, when the drones hit Iran in what was informed as an attack by Israel. He arrived days after Tehran shot hundreds of missiles and drones in the first in retaliation for a deadly strike in his embassy in Syria.
Thanking Rubio for the “unequivocal support” for Israel’s policy in Gaza, Netanyahu said that Israel and the United States under President Donald Trump shared a common strategy in the Palestinian enclave, where a fragile fire is in force between Israel and Hamas After 15 months of bombing.
“I want to assure all those who now listen to us, President Trump and I are working in full cooperation and coordination between us,” he said.
Rubio added: “Hamas cannot continue as a military or government force and, while standing as a force that can govern or administer or a force that can threaten through the use of violence, peace becomes impossible.”
Israel receives sending heavy bombs clear by Trump
The exhibition of the unified position of Rubio and Netanyahu in the Middle East occurred after Tel Aviv received a shipment of large MK-84 bombs of the United States, the Ministry of Defense said today.
The development occurred after Trump lifted a tax for the export tax of these ammunition by the administration of his predecessor Joe Biden.
The MK-84 is a non-guided bomb of 907 kilograms (2,000 pounds), which can tear concrete and thick metal, creating a broad explosion radius.
The Biden administration refused to eliminate them for export to Israel for concern about the impact on the densely populated areas of the Gaza Strip.
The Biden administration sent thousands of 907 kg bombs to Israel after the attack of October 7, 2023 by Hamas, but then retained one of the shipments. Trump lifted his winery last month.
“The sending of ammunition that arrived in Israel tonight, published by the Trump administration, represents a significant asset for the Air Force and the FDI and serves as additional evidence of the strong alliance between Israel and the United States,” said Minister of Defense, Israel Katz. On Saturday.
The shipment came after days of concern about whether a fragile fire in Gaza agreed last month, after both parties were accused of violating the terms of the agreement to stop the fight to allow the exchange of hostages in Gaza for the prisoners Palestinians and arrested in Israeli prisons.
According to a study reported in October 2024, Washington has announced assistance for Israel for a value of at least $ 17.9 billion since the recent Gaza conflict began.
