U.S.: Not Useful to Set Deadlines or Redlines for Iran
(State Department) State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland said Monday: "The President has said, again and again, unequivocally, that we will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. There shouldn't be any doubt about that. With regard to our conversations with the Israelis and our unwavering commitment to their security...we're continuing to talk to them constantly, including about Iran." "We are absolutely firm about the President's commitment here, but it is not useful to be parsing it, to be setting deadlines one way or the other, redlines. It is most important that we stay intensely focused on the pressure on Iran, the opportunity for Iran to fix this situation through the diplomacy that we've offered, and intensive consultations with Israel and all the other regional states."
