The Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council of the White House, in a press conference, responded to a question about the Israeli Prime Minister's statement that 'any potential agreement between the U.S. and Iran will not be binding for Israel' by stating that the United States and Israel have a shared perspective on the 'threat from Iran.' John Kirby noted that the U.S. is always in close consultation with Israel, saying: 'We have a common idea of the ongoing destabilizing behaviors and threats from Iran in the region.' The National Security Council's Strategic Communications Coordinator emphasized that the U.S. and Israel have a 'focal focus' on the destabilizing activities of the Islamic Republic and are always in dialogue on these matters. According to Kirby, these activities encompass various areas, including nuclear ambitions, increasing ballistic missile capabilities, full military relations with Russia, support for Russia in the Ukraine war, piracy of maritime vessels, and support for a network of proxy terrorist mercenaries in the region. Kirby also reacted to President Ebrahim Raisi's visit to Latin America, stating that while the U.S. does not dictate to Latin American countries whom they should engage with, it is the Islamic Republic that must explain the objectives of the President's trip to Latin America. Kirby stated: 'We are always concerned about the destabilizing behaviors of the Islamic Republic and will take necessary measures to counter these behaviors.' Kamala Harris: The U.S. commitment to Israel's security will remain unwavering.

Netanyahu warned: 'No agreement with the Islamic Republic will be binding for Israel.' Exclusive; CENTCOM's response to the Fattah missile test: We are prepared to counter any threat. The Israeli Foreign Minister says we will not allow Iran to become a second North Korea. Some U.S. senators are seeking to sanction buyers of Iranian oil.
