Obama Says Peaceful Outcome on Iran still Possible
2012-01-26
[An Nahar] U.S. President Barack Obama
This is a teachable moment...
said Tuesday that a peaceful resolution was still possible in the international showdown with Iran over its nuclear ambitions.

But Obama vowed in his annual State of the Union speech that he would "take no options off the table," including the military option, in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The world community has overcome its divisions and was now united on how to check Iran's nuclear ambitions, Obama told politicians from both chambers of the U.S. Congress, in remarks prepared for delivery.

"The regime is more isolated than ever before; its leaders are faced with crippling sanctions, and as long as they shirk their responsibilities, this pressure will not relent," Obama said.

"Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal," the president declared.

"But a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible," he said.

#2  TOPIX > IRAN WON'T BUILD A NUCLEAR WEAPON IN 2012, SAYS DRAFT ISIS REPORT. Think-tank.

Due to ...
> on-going international sanctions.
> lack of enough weapons-grade nucmats.
> fear of possible Israeli [US?] attack.

Given various MSM-Net Artics claiming that Iran already has enough nucmats for several Nukes, I'M INTERPRETING THIS ARTIC TO MEAN IRAN WON'T ADMIT OR DECLARE IT HAS NUCWEAPS IN 2012, NOT THAT IT DOESN'T OR CAN'T???
