LONDON—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday urged British Prime Minister Theresa May to follow the American administration and impose new sanctions on Iran over a recent missile test.
The two leaders met at 10 Downing St. for talks British officials hoped would focus on boosting trade ties between the two countries once Britain leaves the European Union.
As photographers captured the start of the meeting, Netanyahu told May: “I'd like to talk to you about how we can ensure that Iran’s aggression does not go unanswered.”
Iran and Israel are bitter enemies. Netanyahu vehemently opposes the 2015 international agreement that imposed curbs on Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions. Britain backs the deal, which May has called “vital.”
