Biden promises to Israel's PM that Iran will 'never' have nuclear weapons

MADRID, 31 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has guaranteed this Wednesday to the Prime Minister of Israel, Yair Lapid, that his Administration will work so that Iran never has atomic weapons, given the misgivings aroused by the possible resumption of the 2015 nuclear agreement. .

The Israeli authorities have not hidden in recent weeks their discomfort at the possible reactivation of a pact that, among other issues, contemplates softening the sanctions against Iran in exchange for certain concessions in nuclear matters.

Lapid has reiterated these fears in a phone conversation with Biden. "We talked about the threat posed by Iraq's nuclear program and terrorist activity," the Israeli prime minister posted on Twitter.

"Israel and the United States are firm in their shared commitment to prevent a nuclear Iran," Lapid insisted, displaying a thesis that the White House also shares.

During the conversation, Biden "has underlined the commitment to never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon," reads the note from the US Presidency, which acknowledges that the Islamic Republic continues to pose "threats" to regional and international stability. .
