US, Israel, Iran - Obama

Some read VP Biden's remarks as giving a greenlight for a preemptive strike by Israel against Iran - wrong reading it appears.

clipped from www.jpost.com US President Barack Obama on Tuesday strongly denied that the United States had given Israel an approval to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. Asked by CNN whether Washington had given Israel a green light for such an attack, Obama answered: "Absolutely not." "What is also true is, it is the policy of the United States to try to resolve the issue of Iran's nuclear capabilities," Obama said. This would be achieved "through diplomatic channels," he added.
