President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Aug. 27 that the United States has “other options” if using diplomacy fails in efforts to ensure Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.
The bilateral meeting at the White House between the two leaders was delayed by one day after a deadly explosion at Kabul airport in Afghanistan caused the deaths of at least 92 people, among whom were 13 U.S. service members. Both Biden and Bennett expressed their condolences for the loss of American lives in Kabul.
