OBAMA STRIKES ISRAEL AGAINST STRIKING IRAN
- US President Barack Obama has warned that he is not bluffing about attacking Iran if it builds a nuclear weapon, but in an interview published Friday, Obama also cautioned US ally Israel that a premature attack on Iran would do more harm than good, San Fransico Chronicle reported. In his most expansive remarks on the issue thus far, Obama told The Atlantic magazine that Iran and Israel both understand that "a military component" is among a mix of many options for dealing with Iran, along with sanctions and diplomacy. That is the most direct threat he has issued during months of escalating tension with Iran over its disputed nuclear development program. His comments appeared aimed more at Israel and its supporters in the United States than at Iran. Obama addresses the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Sunday and meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday at the White House. Netanyahu will also address AIPAC. "I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff," he said in the interview. "I also don't, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are. But (both) governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say." Netanyahu, speaking Friday called Iran's nuclear ambitions a "grave threat to the peace and security of the world." Obama will try to persuade Netanyahu to postpone any plans his government may have to unilaterally attack Iran's nuclear facilities in coming months.
