US state Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that the Obama administration was working to solve the Iranian nuclear crisis through "tough diplomacy".
The US is looking forward to the IAEA report on Iran's nuclear progress and hope that it will lead to a hardening of the international position towards the Islamic Republic. She noted that the US has said time after time that it isn't seeking a military confrontation with Iran and that it remains the US position. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
