U.S., Israel 'Share Goal' to Stop Iran Nukes

The United States and Israel “share the goal” of stopping Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, a U.S. official said late Thursday, September 27, after top level talks in New York, Agence France Presse reported. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met for 75 minutes one-on-one with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, only hours after the Israeli leader called for the international community to impose a “red line” on Tehran to stop it enriching enough uranium to make a nuclear bomb. “They had an in-depth discussion on Iran, and reaffirmed that the United States and Israel share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” a senior State Department official said in a statement. “They agreed that we will continue our close consultation and cooperation toward achieving that goal.”
