Obama: "Were Not Going to Let Iran Get a Nuclear Weapon"

President Barack Obama said on Wednesday, November 14 that he will renew efforts for a diplomatic resolution to the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, but denied that any talks with Tehran were imminent, Reuters reported. “We’re not going let Iran get a nuclear weapon, but I think there is still a window of time for us to resolve this diplomatically,” Obama told a news conference. He added that reports that emerged before his re-election on Nov. 6 of impending U.S. talks with Iran were “not true and ... are not true as of today.” But he said diplomacy remains his preferred option. “I will try to make a push in the coming months to see if we can open up a dialogue between Iran and – not just us but the international community – to see if we can get this thing resolved,” he said.
