Obama: Syria debate is diplomacy lesson for Iran

None

President Barack Obama says his administration's approach to Syria's chemical weapons should show Iran that there's the potential for diplomatic solutions to arms standoffs. But he says Iran shouldn't assume that his preference for diplomacy means the US won't strike Tehran.

 

Obama tells ABC's "This Week" that Iranians understand that their pursuit of a nuclear weapon is "a far larger issue for us" than the use of chemical weapons in Syria. (AP)
