In his press conference alongside US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid says that military and diplomatic strength “guarantees peace.”

After emphasizing that the US and Israel shared “a vision of peace through strength,” Lapid says he and Blinken discussed the Iran nuclear talks and the war in Ukraine.

Lapid again condemns the Russian invasion by name, as he has since the first day of the war.

“The world cannot afford a nuclear Iran,” he says, also saying it couldn’t afford the IRGC spreading terror around the globe.

Israel and the United States will continue to work together to prevent a nuclear Iran, Lapid pledges.
