In a scathing loss of face for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, diplomatic sources in Israel have revealed that President Shimon Peres will meet privately with President Obama at the White House before - repeat before Netanyahu.

Peres is going to tell Obama it's his problem and he has to deal with it..

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in an interview yesterday that Israel will not bow to U.S. and Russian pressure in deciding whether to attack Iran.

Speaking on Channel 2, Lieberman rebuffed suggestions that warnings against striking Iran would affect Israeli decision making, saying the decision "is not their business."

Sanctions on Iran: "American policy regarding Iran remains unambiguous. First and foremost, we must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons." Under Secretary Sherman (Oct. 13, 2011)

Human Rights and Democratic Reform in Iran "Almost two years after Iran’s disputed presidential election, Iranian authorities continue to harass, arbitrarily detain, torture and imprison their citizens, as well as some of ours." Assistant Secretary Posner (May 11)

A nuclear-armed Iran would severely threaten the security and stability of a part of the world crucial to our interests and to the health of the global economy. It would seriously undermine the credibility of the United Nations and other international institutions, and seriously weaken the nuclear nonproliferation regime at precisely the moment when we are seeking to strengthen it.

These risks are only reinforced by the wider actions of the Iranian leadership, particularly its longstanding support for violent terrorist groups like Hizballah and Hamas; its opposition to Middle East peace; its repugnant rhetoric about Israel, the Holocaust, 9/11, and so much else; and its brutal repression of its own citizens.

In the face of those challenges, American policy is straightforward. We must prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. We must counter its destabilizing actions in the region and beyond. And we must continue to do all we can to advance our broader interests in democracy, human rights, peace and economic development across the Middle East.

President Obama on Additional Sanctions on Iran

President Obama issues a statement on the announcement of additional sanctions on Iran, to further isolate and penalize the country for its refusal to live up to its international obligations regarding its nuclear program.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 21, 2011

Statement by the President on the Announcement of Additional Sanctions on Iran

Today, my Administration has taken yet another step to further isolate and penalize Iran for its refusal to live up to its international obligations regarding its nuclear program. For years, the Iranian government has failed to abide by its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It has violated repeated UN Security Council resolutions, as well as its commitments to the International Atomic Energy Agency. In the face of this intransigence, the world has spoken with one voice —at the IAEA, at the UN, and in capitals - making it clear that Iranian actions jeopardize international peace and stability, and will only further isolate the Iranian regime.

What you are saying s1o is Obama is in charge and Netanyahu has been put in his proper pecking order place...

Nah. I'm just saying that no one in their right mind wants the
Iranian theocracy to have nuclear weapons and it is US policy to
prevent Iran from making progress in getting the bomb.

I don't expect either Netanyahu nor Obama to do everything the
other wants - although they both have similar policies towards
Iran's access to nuclear weapon technology.
