AJC CEO Ted Deutch Statement on Israel's Actions to Defend Itself Against Iranian Regime's Imminent Nuclear Threat

Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, released the following statement in response to Israel's actions to defend itself against the Iranian regime's imminent nuclear threat:

Tonight, the Israeli military is taking precise, defensive action to deny Iran's ability to existentially threaten Israel and harm millions of people.

The Iranian regime, which provides financial and materiel support to terrorist groups waging war on Israel, had repeatedly vowed to destroy the world's one Jewish state.

Earlier today, Iran was censured at the IAEA for systematically deceiving the world about its nuclear program, which poses an imminent threat to Israel.

We stand with Israel in its right to self-defense and in anticipation of any Iranian military or proxy response.

Iran supports worldwide terrorism. It violates the human rights of its people. It desperately pursues nuclear weapons. And it has sworn to destroy Israel. All nations should stand against the Iranian regime. The world should stand with Israel.

AJC is the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people. With headquarters in New York, 25 regional offices across the United States, 15 overseas posts, as well as partnerships with 38 Jewish community organizations worldwide, AJC's mission is to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel and to advance human rights and democratic values in the United States and around the world.
