'US determined to prevent nuclear-armed Iran'
Jan-25-2012-- WASHINGTON – US President Barack Obama had tough words for Iran and Syria in his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
“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,” Obama said to sustained applause.
In State of the Union address largely devoted to US economy, Obama trumpets "ironclad commitment" to Israel's security. He said that currently, “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.”
The president did, however, leave the door open for diplomacy, saying that, “A peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible, and far better, and if Iran changes course and meets its obligations, it can rejoin the community of nations.”
His words were more hawkish than one year ago, where his brief reference to Iran focused only on the American diplomatic effort.
