Obama: There's time for diplomatic solution on Iran issue

None

US President Barack Obama said during a visit to South Korea, "Iran stands alone—as the only member of the NPT unable to convince the international community that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. That is why the world has imposed unprecedented sanctions, slowing Iran’s nuclear program. There is time to solve this diplomatically, but time is short... . Treaties are binding. Rules will be enforced. "

He added, "Under the NPT, Iran has the right to peaceful nuclear energy. But time and again Iran has refused, taking instead the path of denial, deceit and deception." (Ynet)
