The U.S.-Israel Strategic Consultative Group (SCG) has not convened since March 2023.
Washington designated the company “for engaging or attempting to engage in activities or transactions that materially contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by Iran.”
Israel’s foreign minister met with his American counterpart Antony Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Listing the group is more connected to Iranian support of Russia against Ukraine than Tehran’s attack on Israel, per the Czech ambassador to Israel.
Actors with Iranian ties are “posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protest, and even providing financial support to protesters,” Avril Haines said.
An official in Tehran said that the missiles would be sent to Hezbollah, while the Houthis would receive drones.
Iran “has always supported the resistance of the people of the region against the illegitimate Zionist regime,” wrote Masoud Pezeshkian.
“I am going to Washington tonight to represent the State of Israel with one clear goal: to warn dozens of leaders and foreign ministers that they must stand up now with full force and determination against Iran.”
Both Biden and Trump are “committed to Israel” but will hesitate to go to war to stop it from attaining nuclear weapons, expert tells JNS.
The Israeli foreign minister called on the international community to blacklist the IRGC, and demand Tehran curb its nuclear program and support for terrorism.
