U.S., Israel Discuss Expanding Cooperation on Iran
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Nazir Magally - Israel's National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata met with his U.S. counterpart, Jake Sullivan, in Washington last week to deepen strategic coordination on Iran's nuclear program. Hulata stressed that Israel "is trying to expand interest in Iran's nuclear file so that it includes other issues related to Iranian arms in the region and hegemony schemes." He said that he and Sullivan have almost daily conversations by phone. "It is no secret that Israel and the United States do not agree on the Iranian issue, especially when it comes to the nuclear deal," said Hulata. "There is a danger that after returning to the deal and lifting sanctions, the U.S. will lose the tools that would allow it to impose a longer and stronger agreement on Iran."
