IranianMr. Obama said Iran should also understand he is not pursuing a policy of containment, "I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.  And I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests."
President Obama emphasized that the United States and Israel both assess that Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapon:
"Now the international community has a responsibility to use the time and space that exists. Sanctions are continuing to increase, and this July – thanks to our diplomatic coordination – a European ban on Iranian oil imports will take hold.  Faced with these increasingly dire consequences, Iran's leaders still have the opportunity to make the right decision."
President Obama said the U.S. prefers to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue diplomatically. He added that there has been too much loose talk of war. "Now is not the time for bluster," he said.  "Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in, and to sustain the broad international coalition we have built."
