New Delhi : Former U.S. counterterrorism official Joe Kent has raised concerns over recent U.S.-Israel actions involving Iran, arguing that such moves could undermine diplomatic efforts in the region.
Kent stated that attempts by Donald Trump to ease tensions with Iran are being complicated by actions attributed to Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly strikes targeting key Iranian energy infrastructure.
He emphasised that meaningful negotiations with Iran would require a reassessment of U.S. support to Israel, including military assistance.
