Obama 'Admin' says it has 'wide range of options' if Iran talks fail.(JPost).
A senior Obama administration official says the president is prepared to consider "a wide range of options" should negotiations with Iran fail to reach a comprehensive agreement over its nuclear program."If talks break down, and if Iran is not negotiating in good faith, we are prepared to work with Congress to impose more sanctions," said Jake Sullivan, the deputy assistant to the president, when asked by The Jerusalem Post what the logic is behind revisiting sanctions policy should diplomacy fail in Vienna.
"The logic behind that is that there is an opportunity to continue to sharpen the choice for Iran: they can either negotiate in good faith, and arrive at a resolution that resolves the international community's concerns about their program, or they are going to face mounting pressure," Sullivan added.
"We've also made clear that sanctions aren't the only tool available," he said. "As the situation unfolds, we're prepared to consider a very wide range of options."Read the full story here.
