UK, Israel to work together to stop Iran gaining nuclear weapons
Britain and Israel will "work night and day" in
preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power, the foreign ministers of the two
countries wrote in a joint article.
"The clock is ticking, which heightens the need for close
cooperation with our partners and friends to thwart Tehran's ambitions,"
the UK's Liz Truss and her Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid wrote in the
Telegraph newspaper on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said earlier in the
day that his country was "very worried" that world powers will remove
sanctions on Iran in exchange for insufficient caps on its nuclear programme,
as negotiators convene in Vienna on Monday in a last-ditch effort to salvage a
nuclear deal.
Meanwhile, Israel and Britain will sign a 10-year agreement
on Monday to work closely on areas such as cybersecurity, technology, trade and
defence, according to the Telegraph.
