Blinken: Vitally Important to Engage with Israel, Gulf on Iran Nuclear Deal
(Al-Monitor) Elizabeth Hagedorn - Secretary of State-nominee Antony Blinken pledged to consult with Israel, Gulf allies and Congress when seeking "a longer and stronger" agreement to rein in Iran's nuclear ambitions during his Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday. He said the administration would "engage on the takeoff, not just the landing" with allies and partners before taking steps to rejoin the landmark nuclear agreement. "Biden is committed to the proposition that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon. Iran with a nuclear weapon or the threshold capacity to build one is an Iran that would act with potentially greater impunity than it already is."
