WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Wednesday the United States will never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, the White House said, as Tehran seeks stronger guarantees from Washington for the revival of a nuclear deal with world powers.

Biden has vowed to revive the agreement while ensuring the security of Israel, Iran's regional arch foe. Biden also emphasised the importance of concluding maritime boundary negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, the statement added.
