They also discussed the Hezbollah drone attack on Netanyahu's home
Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday and discussed “uniting against” Iran.
“The issue of the Iranian threat was raised, including the need for both countries to unite against it,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement on the meeting . “The Prime Minister thanked the American Secretary of State for the support of the US in the fight against Iran’s axis of evil and terrorism.”
The State Department said in a readout of the meeting that the two officials discussed efforts to “deter further regional aggression from Iran and its proxies” and said Blinken “reaffirmed the United States’ ironclad commitment to Israel’s security.”
The meeting comes amid anticipation of an Israeli attack on Iran in response to the Iranian missile barrage that was fired at Israeli territory, which was retaliation for a string of Israeli escalations, including the killing of Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, while he was visiting Tehran.
It’s unclear how big Israel’s attack on Iran will be or when it will happen, but it’s expected to take place before the US presidential election on November 5. According to Israeli media, Israel could use a Hezbollah drone attack that targeted Netanyahu’s home as a pretext to justify more extensive strikes on Iran.
