JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The United States and Israel agree on the need for “tangible action” to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s spokesman said after a visit by U.S. President George W. Bush.
“We are on the same page. We both see the threat … And we both understand that tangible action is required to prevent the Iranians from moving forward on a nuclear weapon,” Olmert spokesman Mark Regev said on Friday.
Regev described diplomatic efforts so far to exert pressure on Iran as “positive”, but added: “It is clearly not sufficient and it’s clear that additional steps will have to be taken”.
