Ashton Carter: Deal doesn’t limit US options
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter tells senators that the Iran nuclear deal “takes no option away from a future president,” adding that it is “a deal that deserves your support.”
Carter, who visited Israel last week in an effort to calm the waters after the P5+1 states reached a nuclear agreement with Iran earlier this month, reassures members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that the US is “committed to making [Israel] even stronger and more capable” militarily.
He also highlights the anticipated 2016 delivery of top-of-the-line F-35 airplanes and the ongoing collaboration between the US and Israel on the David’s Sling, Arrow, and Iron Dome missile defense systems.
