US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has pledged to continue close consultations with Israel over any potential US return to the Iranian nuclear deal, AP reported.
After talks with Blinken in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed the hope that Washington would not sign the deal again, and whatever happens, Israel will always retain the right to defend itself from any Iranian nuclear threat.
Blinken said the United States will continue to strengthen its long-standing partnership with Israel. This includes close consultations with Israel on the ongoing talks in Vienna on a potential return to a nuclear deal with Iran, he noted.
