The U.S. Vice President said that President Biden yesterday affirmed that nations do not abandon their right to self‑defence. He noted that if Hezbollah were to fire rockets or drones at Israel, Israel would have the right to defend itself. He added that Iran also has a right to self‑defence, but the United States expects that any final agreement will prevent Iran from developing missiles capable of threatening the entire world. In short, no country – whether Israel or Iran – can be denied the right to self‑defence.
