In a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington, Mr. Obama said that efforts at the start of his administration to engage Iran -- which were quickly rebuffed by Tehran -- allowed us to rally the international community as never before, to expose Iran's intransigence, and to apply pressure that goes far beyond anything that the United States could do on our own:
"Few thought that sanctions could have an immediate bite on the Iranian regime. They have, slowing the Iranian nuclear program and virtually grinding the Iranian economy to a halt in 2011. Many questioned whether we could hold our coalition together as we moved against Iran's Central Bank and oil exports. But our friends in Europe and Asia and elsewhere are joining us. And in 2012, the Iranian government faces the prospect of even more crippling sanctions."
President Obama noted that Iran's leaders should have no doubt about the resolve of the United States; just as they should not doubt Israel’s sovereign right to make its own decisions about what is required to meet its security needs.
