Obama Says Iran Sanctions Offer No Guarantees
(Reuters-Washington Post) David Morgan and Bill Trott - President Obama said in an interview Friday that there is no guarantee sanctions will change Iran's behavior. "Do we have a guarantee as to the sanctions we are able to institute at this stage are automatically going to change Iranian behavior? Of course we don't," Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America." "If we are consistent and steady in applying international pressure...over time, Iran, which is not a stupid regime, which is very attentive and watching what's happening in the international community, will start making a different set of cost-benefit analyses about whether or not pursuing nuclear weapons makes sense for them."
