"Reporters were escorted out of the room at Washington's 6th and I Streets Historic synagogue this morning before NSC Iran point man Dennis Ross addressed some 300 Jewish leaders attending a conference on Iran today, an attendee relayed.
Also off the record, the remarks of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-CA) told the National Jewish Leadership Advocacy Day on Iran, that "absent compelling evidence, I will mark up the Iran sanctions legislation next month," the attendee relayed..."
"The speakers were all about 'it's time to get the wheels of tough sanctions turning,'" the attendee said. "There were questioners who raised whether at the end of the day, Congress/Admin will support U.S. or Israeli military action. The answers were consistently 'all options are on the table.'"
