National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata and his US counterpart Jake Sullivan chair a meeting of a bilateral forum that was established to discuss Iran and other regional matters.

“The delegations discussed the need to confront all aspects of the threat posed by Iran, including its nuclear program, destabilizing activities in the region, and support for terrorist proxy groups,” says a statement from the White House. “They agreed that Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program poses a grave threat to the region and to international peace and security.”

Sullivan, who is visiting Jerusalem, also updated the Israelis on the ongoing nuclear negotiations in Vienna and “the two sides exchanged views on the way forward,” according to the statement.

“The officials affirmed that the United States and Israel are aligned in their determination to ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon,” the statement adds.
