U.S. Denies Tension with Israel over Iran
(Times of Israel) Asher Zeiger - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro told Israel Channel 2 TV Sunday there was "definitely a narrative in the media right now, I'd say an overheated one, about tension between the United States and Israel over the issue of Iran." "But the truth is they don't reflect the very close coordination and very intense work we've done together to address an issue that we perceive the same way, which is the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons." "We fully recognize that Israel is a sovereign country and will make its own decisions about its security. Israel is a strong country and has done that throughout its history. We're also trying to remain as coordinated as possible."
