Israel's National Security Adviser, Eyal Hulata has travelled to the United States for talks with his U.S. counterpart, Jake Sullivan, on Iran's nuclear program.

Hulata said in statements cited by Haaretz newspaper that; "We will continue the deep and close dialogue between Israel and the United States, in general, and on the Iranian issue, in particular."

Hulata also admitted that there are differences with Washington on several issues, but said that "coordination is important and strategic and we are working on it."

Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, said in a statement that; "Israel will maintain freedom of action in any situation, with or without an agreement."

Under the agreement, Tehran has committed to limit its nuclear activity to civilian purposes and, in return, world powers agreed to drop their economic sanctions against Iran.
