Kerry: I don’t believe Israel would hit Iran without consulting us first
(Worthy News)– Secretary of State John Kerry sought to calm Israeli worries over an emerging nuclear deal with Iran in an interview aired Sunday, dismissing some concerns as brought on by “hysteria” over the possible agreement, the Times of Israel reported.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 10 television, Kerry said the deal wouldn’t affect American options to counter any possible effort by Iran to build atomic weapons.
He also said he did not believe Israel would surprise the United States by attacking Iran without prior consultation, because of the “huge” potential implications.
“I say to every Israeli that today we have the ability to stop [the Iranians] if they decided to move quickly to a bomb. And I absolutely guarantee that in the future we will have the ability to know what they are doing, so that we can still stop them if they decided to move to a bomb,” Kerry said. –[wp_colorbox_media url=”http://www.timesofisrael.com/kerry-i-dont-believe-israel-would-hit-iran-without-consulting-us-first/” type=”iframe” hyperlink=”Source”]
