Austin’s first talks in Israel since he became Pentagon chief in January come as the United States seeks to leverage Middle East diplomatic progress made by the Trump administration, whichunderground Natanz nuclear facility
“The Tehran of today presents a strategic threat to international security, the entire Middle East and to the state of Israel,” Gantz said in his prepared statement. “We will work closely with our American allies to ensure that any new agreement with Iran will secure the vital interests of the world and of the United States, prevent a dangerous arms race in our region and protect the state of Israel.
Austin is steeped in the finer points of Middle East defense and security issues. He served four years as head of U.S. Central Command, capping a 41-year Army career that included commanding U.S. forces in Iraq. “History has taught us that deals like this, with extremist regimes like this, are worth nothing,” Netanyahu said last week.
Iron Dome is one of the most-touted successes in Israel missile defense. It is a mobile anti-rocket system developed to intercept short-range unguided rockets. It has shot down more than 2,000 projectiles fired from the Gaza Strip since it was deployed a decade ago. The U.S. Army recently bought two Iron Dome batteries at the request of Congress to counter cruise missiles.
JonLemire And as SecDef Austin was making that comment it seems Israel was actively attacking Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. Does this mean that we are now even more committed to allowing Israel to drag us into their war with Iran?
Still a slave😂😂
Obama said the same thing. Actions are what matter.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declares an “enduring and ironclad” American commitment to apartheid israel & its occupation of Palestine during his first visit to the country as Pentagon chief. +
It is funny that they are accuse China of treating Muslims unfairly and yet they ignore how Israel keeps treating Palestinians and the US continues to kiss Israel’s ass.
JonLemire Why
JonLemire It is a facade until Netanyahu is removed from power. Racism doesn't matter until we are safe from Iran's nuclear proliferation. Yeah there's problems but you have to prioritize them. Be glad we have a strong leader like Lloyd Austin in this position?
Not good
We need this kind of Ironclad committment to our African American ancestry too! Ironclad committment to Mama Africa!
While Israel attacks Natanz. That will definitely make Iran more inclined to choose diplomacy...
而我是member，憑你們，就我一個測試我就可以把所有解除。
So he'ironclad for genocide of an entire country...😠
see yhis
Sad. Time to cut the terrorists loose. 'Friends' and 'allies' do things for each other. With Israel, it's just all take.
