The White House says Israel and the United states are commited to
preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but there is still time
to pursue diplomacy.
White House spokesman Jay Carney spoke with VOA Monday after an Israeli
newspaper reported that Washington had approached Tehran to convey that
it would not be dragged into a war if Israel attacks Iran over its
nuclear program.
"Well I can tell you that there is no daylight between the United
States and Israel when it comes to the absolute need to prevent Iran
from acquiring nuclear weapons. That is the President’s policy and he
will use all aspects of American power towards the goal of preventing
Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon," he said.
Carney also said President Barack Obama believes there is still time
for diplomacy while pressuring Iran though sanctions. But he said that
window "will not remain open forever" and stress that "all options
remain on the table" to stop Iran from producing an atomic bomb.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday that the U.S.
sent Iran an indirect message through two unidentified European nations
"that it would not back an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities
as long as Tehran refrains from attacking American interests in the
Persian Gulf."
Mr. Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has accused the president
of decreasing his support for U.S. allies, including Israel.
Officials say the U.S. is currently building a radar station in Qatar
to defend U.S. interests and American allies from Iranian missiles. The
U.S. is also organizing a minesweeping excercise in the Persian Gulf
later this month in an effort to deter Iran from blocking oil exports
through the Strait of Hormuz.
