Obama on Iran

The White House: Statement by the President. President Obama has stated the following on Iran, “ …what I can say with respect to Iran, I think it's very important to remember, particularly given some of the political noise out there, that this administration has systematically imposed the toughest sanctions on Iraq -- on Iran ever. When we came into office, the world was divided, Iran was unified and moving aggressively on its own agenda. Today, Iran is isolated, and the world is unified in applying the toughest sanctions that Iran has ever experienced. And it's having an impact inside of Iran. And that's as a consequence of the extraordinary work that's been done by our national security team. Now, Iran understands that they have a choice: They can break that isolation by acting responsibly and foreswearing the development of nuclear weapons, which would still allow them to pursue peaceful nuclear power, like every other country that's a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, or they can continue to operate in a fashion that isolates them from the entire world. And if they are pursuing nuclear weapons, then I have said very clearly, that is contrary to the national security interests of the United States; it's contrary to the national security interests of our allies, including Israel; and we are going to work with the world community to prevent that. If I was the Oval I would not be that smug, the Israeli Government does not have confidence in President Obama, thus the recent talk that Israel will strike Iran. The storming of the UK Embassy in Tehran shows that the hardliners want to unify the people behind an anti Western PR campaign. The Tehran Regime thinks that Obama is bluffing, they have in essence told him to get lost, thus their confidence in the plan to kill the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in the US. The Middle East from Israel to Tehran think they have the Obama number, thus the Obama Administration or its allies through their intelligence services have being using covert means to delay Iran going nuclear. The shooting down of a drone in Iran shows that that tensions are building folks, Obama might not have the time to wait, either Israel strikes Iran as it struck Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007 or Obama will have to take action, time is running out folks.
