USA, Israel prefer diplomatic resolution for Iran’s nuclear issue
We believe there is still a window that allows for a diplomatic resolution for Iran’s nuclear issue, US President Barack Obama is quoted as saying during a meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to MEHR news agency focusing on the situation created round Iran, US president has emphasized: “We believe there is still a window that allows for a diplomatic resolution. I know that both the prime minister and I prefer to resolve this diplomatically.”
However, Israeli PM urged Obama to impose tougher sanctions against Iran.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said a couple of weeks ago he didn’t think Israel had made a decision to launch a military strike on Iran to thwart its nuclear ambitions.
