I’ve been crystal clear on Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOn Iran, says Obama: We have close coordination with Israel.
He’s been “crystal clear” on the need to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon.
The diplomatic window is not unlimited.
“We think it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon, but obviously we don’t want to cut it too close.”
Sanctions are having “a significant effect” on the Iranian economy, he says. Iran’s leaders have not made “a fundamental decision to get right” but “they are recognizing that there’s a severe cost” to continuing with the program.
If there can be a diplomatic resolution, that’s a “more lasting” solution. But all options are on the table.
