President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid pledged on Thursday to deny Iran nuclear weapons, a show of unity by allies long divided over diplomacy with Tehran.

"We will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon," Biden told a news conference following the signing of the declaration. "The United States stresses that integral to this pledge is the commitment never to allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, and that it is prepared to use all elements of its national power to ensure that outcome," the statement added."The only way to stop a nuclear Iran is if Iran knows the free world will use force," he said after the signing ceremony.
Iran has since ramped up some nuclear activities, putting a ticking clock on world powers' bid to return to a deal in Vienna talks. Israel now says it would support a new deal with tougher provisions. Iran has balked at submitting to further curbs."We are not going to wait forever," he said. Hamas, an Islamist group that has helped spearhead the Palestinian struggle against Israel, decried the moves.
