Let me get this straight…the number one country in the world for state sponsored terrorism, a country that has attacked and killed American troops in Iraq, a country who publicly and openly states the desire to destroy Israel, a country who leads it’s people in chants about “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” not only “deserves” nuvlear power according to Obama, but this also implies that we somehow trust them to NOT pursue weaponization of their nukes?
Coming from an American President, the man in charge of protecting the American people and defending its allies, this is truly shocking. I feel like I’m living on another planet.
LONDON — President Barack Obama suggested that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy _ provided it proves by the end of the year that its aspirations are peaceful.
In a BBC interview broadcast Tuesday, he also restated plans to pursue direct diplomacy with Tehran to encourage it set aside any ambitions for nuclear weapons it might harbor.
Iran has insisted its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity. But the U.S. and other Western governments accuse Tehran of seeking atomic weapons.
“What I do believe is that Iran has legitimate energy concerns, legitimate aspirations,” Obama said, adding that the international community also “has a very real interest” in preventing a nuclear arms race.
