My Way News - Dempsey reassures Israel it will keep military edge
My Way News reports: "The top U.S. military officer reassured Israel on Tuesday that it will
maintain a military edge over potential adversaries, including Gulf Arab
states, regardless of whether Washington completes a nuclear deal with
Iran. [...] Dempsey said the U.S. intends to continue helping Israel improve its air and missile defenses and will be talking to the Israelis about ways to improve their cyber defenses, their maritime security and their means of countering the military use of tunnels such as those from Gaza.
Dempsey said he understands why Israelis believe a nuclear deal will give Iran room to accelerate its funding of surrogate Shiite groups like Hezbollah and to put more resources into its own military."
My Way News - Israeli PM says Arab leaders also weary of Iran nuclear deal
My Way News reports: "Israel's prime minister said Tuesday that Arab leaders agree with him
that an emerging nuclear deal with Iran won't stop Tehran from getting
atomic weapons. [...] Netanyahu told the prestigious Herzliya conference, an annual gathering that draws speakers from around the world, that he is not the only voice in the Middle East against the deal."
Comment: Welcome to the new Mideast arms race, it will certainly be good for the defense industry.
