⚡Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Iran: We crippled the Iranian economy, we crippled its industries, we crippled its nuclear program, we crippled so many things. We pushed them back significantly. We wanted to do much more, and we wanted to continue. But we have a partner called the President of the United States. He has a small superpower—a small country of 380 million people—that he has to take care of. He has his interests. As Netanyahu rightly said, he looks after the interests of the United States, and we look after ours.
