[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid and Shahar Ilan - The U.S. and Israel agree on the need for "tangible action" to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Prime Minister Olmert's spokesman Mark Regev said Friday, after a visit by President Bush. "We are on the same page. We both see the threat...and we both understand that tangible action is required to prevent the Iranians from moving forward on a nuclear weapon," Regev said. Senior officials in Jerusalem said Thursday that Israel is fully satisfied with the results of Bush's visit, including policy on Iran's nuclear program. "In talks with the president of the United States during his visit it was made clear that Bush's statements on the subject of Iran's nuclear program are fully backed in practice," a senior official said. During the meetings, Israel presented more data to back the desire for a reassessment of an American intelligence report which concluded that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program.
