US President Joe Biden said today, Monday, that "Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon during my term of office."

"America's commitment to Israel is solid," Biden said, adding that he was looking forward to receiving the Israeli prime minister soon.

Biden's comments came after talks with his Israeli counterpart Reuven Rivlin at the White House.

For his part, the Israeli president said he was happy to be in the White House, stressing that "the United States is the greatest friend and ally of Israel."

 The United States has pledged to modernize the Israeli missile defense system known as the Iron Dome, which was used during the Gaza war.
