Is it all eyes on Iran as US and Israeli counterterrorism leads meet?

It’s a partnership married by common enemies and politics – and it is also the longest-running strategic counterterrorism dialogue to date for America.  And as U.S. and Israeli officials meet again this week to discuss ongoing threats and issues that affect both countries – it’s expected a lot of the talk will center around Iran.

“The United States and Israel will discuss the shared terrorist threats facing our two countries, including from Iran and Lebanese Hezballah, and develop strategies for bolstering collaboration and cooperation in these critical areas.”  Statement – U.S. State Department
