Shapiro: US has alternative plans to deal with Iran's nuclear program
None
US Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro said Thursday that Washington has prepared a set of alternative options to deal with Iran's nuclear program, should the financial sanctions prove futile.
Shapiro made the remarks ahead of US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey's first visit to Israel. Shapiro, who took part in Haifa University's America Day, reiterated the assertion that Iran's atom program is aimed at developing nuclear weapons, adding that financial pressure against the Islamic Republic must be stepped up in order to make Tehran understand that their actions have a price.
