US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Israeli counterpart, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, spoke overnight, the US State Department announced Thursday morning. The two discussed a range of regional and global issues including the “challenges posed by Iran,” a statement from State Department spokesperson Ned Price read.
While it wasn’t clear what Israel’s relation to the issue is, the two men also discussed “the risks of further Russian aggression against Ukraine,” the readout said.
“Blinken reiterated the Administration’s ironclad commitment to Israel’s security,” the statement concluded.
Lapid in a tweet said he had spoken with Blinken about regional and global challenges and “the importance of putting pressure on Iran to stop its race to a nuclear weapon.” He made no specific mention of the Russian-Ukraine conflict.
The phone call came as Price reported some progress at last week’s talks between world powers and Iran in Vienna, aimed at reestablishing the 2015 deal that gave Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. READ MORE
