US Defense Secretary: Israel saved US soldiers' lives
US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said on the eve of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrival in Washington next week, that although the United States and Israel view the Iran deal differently, they have to continue cooperation in all other matters concerning Iran.
In an interview with journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, published Tuesday in "The Atlantic," Carter said that, "We have to move on to the business we have in common and that means, specifically with respect to Iran, working together to counter their other malign activities in the region, which are just as worrying to us as they are to Israel, and to monitor the implementation of the agreement.”
The US Defense Secretary praised Israeli innovations in the military domain which help, according to him, the US military, “It’s a two-way relationship.
There’s no question that it’s not symmetric, but it is two-way - we really do get things from the Israelis in technology," he said.
