Romney Seems to Back Off Adviser’s Suggestion He Would Support Israeli Strike against Iran
posted on July 30, 2012At The Washington Post, Philip Rucker and Joel Greenberg write that Mitt Romney reiterated his support for Israel’s right “to defend itself, but seemed to back off a foreign policy adviser’s earlier suggestion that he would support a unilateral military strike by Israel against Iran to stop Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapon capability.” The statements came during Romney’s much anticipated visit to Israel, during which the presumptive GOP presidential nominee met with top governmental and military officials, as well as prominent Israeli supporters and donors.
