US will ‘walk away’ from inadequate Iran deal — Obama

President Barack Obama says the United States would “walk away” from nuclear talks with Iran if there’s no acceptable deal.

Obama says any agreement must allow Western powers to verify that Tehran isn’t going to obtain an atomic weapon, and that even if Iran “cheated,” the US and others would have “enough time to take action.”

The president tells CBS’ “Sunday Morning” that “if we don’t have that kind of deal, then we’re not going to take it.”
