Obama Warns Iran Over Nuke Policy

US President-elect Barack Obama says he is prepared to offer Iran economic incentives to stop its nuclear programme, but he also warned that sanctions could be toughened if it refuses.

Dealing with Tehran’s nuclear programme will be one of his toughest foreign policy challenges when he moves into the White House in January.

The West has accused Iran of trying to build a nuclear weapon, although Iran insists its programme is for purely peaceful purposes.

Speaking on the television programme Meet The Press, Mr Obama said: “We are willing to talk to them directly and give them a clear choice and ultimately let them make a determination in terms of whether they want to do this the hard way or the easy way.”

Iran last month signalled it was expanding its nuclear enrichment programme, an indication that it has no intention of bowing to Western pressure.

Mr Obama said: “We need to ratchet up tough but direct diplomacy with Iran, making very clear to them that their development of nuclear weapons would be unacceptable, that their funding of terrorist organisations, their threats against Israel are contrary to everything we believe in.

   There is going to be a war, most definetely. The only question is, will it be america itself or will it go through its proxy israel?

   Also will it happen before or after Obama is inaugurated?

   As a side note, just imagine how much oil the elites could seize if they conquered Iran. They must be drooling right now…

   If the final paragraph of this 2006 (Arab source) article is anything to go by, then
   Iran already has dirty nuclear bombs (also germ and chemical bombs)

   IM NOT THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD BUT WHO THE FUCK GAVE THE U.S. THE RIGHT TO TELL IRAN WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO? THE U.S. DID.

   PUT ALL THE BULLSHIT ASIDE AND ITS SIMPLE, IF I WERE AN IRANIAN LEADER I WOULD SAY FUCK AMERICA LETS NUKE THEM JUST BECAUSE THEY TOLD US WE COULDNT.

   AMERICA (BY AMERICA I MEAN THE GOV’T) IS THE PREPPY-SPOILED-ASSHOLE-JOCK KID IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT TRIES TO BULLY EVERYONE. WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT PERSON? EVENTUALLY SOMEONE KICKS THEIR ASS AND THEIR REIGN IS OVER. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS… WE , THE CITIZENS, ARE THE ONES WHO WILL TAKE THE ASS KICKING.

   WE ARE ALL PAWNS IN THE EYES OF OUR GOV’T. WHEN THE NUKES FALL THEY WILL BE IN THEIR TOASTY SHELTERS EATING GOURMET FOOD WHILE OUR SHADOWS ARE BURNED INTO THE GROUND.
