Bolton in Israel: Preventing Iran From Acquiring Nukes Has “Highest Importance“ for U.S.
by TheTower.org Staff | 08.20.18

White House National Security Adviser John Bolton met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Sunday evening, telling the premier that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs were “right at the top of the list” of challenges facing the United States and the world, The Times of Israel reported. U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer also attended the official dinner.

Ahead of meetings with Israeli security officials on Monday, Bolton told Netanyahu that for the U.S. preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities was of “highest importance,” and the rationale behind the withdrawal from the JCPOA earlier in the year. The national security adviser said Washington’s focus was on “rolling back Iran’s aggression” in the Middle East, including in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.

Bolton also explained that the Trump administration was working to convince European allies “of the need to take stronger steps against the Iranian nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program.”
