During a meeting with the U.S. special representative for Iran, Brian Hook, Prime Minister Netanyahu lauded U.S. sanctions against Iran as "the most important thing that has been done against the most aggressive power in the region and that has to be rolled back". Hook indicated that the U.S. was now "in a position to really go after all of the revenue streams that Iran uses to fund Hamas and Hizbollah, its missile proliferation, all of the threats to peace and security that Iran presents". He went on to describe Netanyahu as "a fantastic and committed partner in this endeavour".
