Gates tells Netanyahu: We see eye-to-eye on Iran

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday. The two discussed a number of issues in the political, security and strategic arenas.  During the meeting, Gates said the US and Israel see eye-to-eye on the Iranian nuclear threat, and explained that his country's policy regarding Iran is not open-ended. Netanyahu once again stressed that Israel takes Iran's nuclear ambitions seriously, as it does the need to act to prevent its gaining nuclear weapons. (Ynet)
