US, Israel Talk Iran, Regional Security Issues
Iran sole 'regional security issue' listed by White House after national security advisors hold consultative talks.
The US and Israeli national security advisors discussed on Thursday "regional security issues," according to the White House.
The sole country named in the White House statement was Iran amid ongoing efforts by the Biden administration to resume participation in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The push has failed to breach an impasse with Iran regarding who should first return to compliance after former President Donald Trump left the pact in 2018.
Trump went on to reimpose sanctions, including those lifted under the JCPOA as tensions reached a fever pitch between Washington and Tehran. In retaliation for Trump's actions, The Islamic Republic took successive steps from its nuclear commitments.
