Concerns over Iran’s nuclear program, and the possibility of Iran using the program to develop nuclear weapons is a cause of concern for the United States, Israel and other western nations. President Obama has indicated all options are on the table when it comes to Iran but seemingly wants to give diplomacy and sanctions every chance to keep the Islamic Republic’s program in check. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his patience is wearing thin with diplomatic efforts towards Iran and says Israel will not live in the shadow of annihilation while Iran closes in on building a nuclear weapon. Iran claims their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
