He welcomed Donald Trumps firm position onIran, thanked the US forthe right policy, praising the recent claims bynew Secretary ofState Mike Pompeo no enrichment, tough sanctions, and Iran should get outof Syria.
According tothe Israeli top official, this is the only policy that could ultimately guarantee the security ofthe Middle East and peace inthe region.
?He also gave his view onIrans nuclear program and accused Tehran ofhiding the nuclear archive, claiming the Islamic Republic had lied aboutit, and moved it fromplace toplace because Iran is seeking nuclear weapons and conquest.
