WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. Vice President Joe Biden assured Israel sanctions against Iran would continue to be enforced, a senior administration official said.
In Israel to attend the funeral of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Biden met with Prime Minster Benyamin Netanyahu and updated him on last week's agreement of "P5 plus 1" nations to constrain Iran's nuclear ambitions while providing Iran some relief from economic sanctions.
