Opinion: The U.S. must coordinate with Israel in order to contain Iran
After two years of fruitless negotiations with Iran, the Biden Administration appears to be finally waking up to reality: only by coordinating closely with Israel will America be able to curtail Tehran’s nuclear program and stifle the regime’s capacity to support terrorists and dictators like Hezbollah and Vladimir Putin.
Shortly after the drills, and during visits to Israel by C.I.A. Director William Burns and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Israel conducted four drone and missile strikes against Iran and Iranian proxies in Syria. It is ultimately self-evident that Israel – as the only true democracy in the Middle East, whose military has carried out hundreds of strikes on Iranian targets over the past decade – is a major strategic asset to the U.S., and is vital to America’s efforts to counter and contain the Iranian regime.
The regional partners that Mr. Shapiro refers to – Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other moderate Arab nations – have a key role to play as well, and their diplomatic capacity should be called upon to buttress Israel’s diplomatic and military capabilities. Moreover, as recent reports suggest that Iran is building plants within Russia to enable the Kremlin to produce thousands of drones domestically, time is of the essence in confronting the Iranian regime.
Throughout his decades in Washington, Biden has earned a reputation as a pro-Israel Democrat. As Vice President, he was often the preferred interlocutor for Israeli officials, due to former President Obama’s prioritization of achieving détente with Iran.
