Obama: "Iran strike 'not ideal'..."

Reuters:
"...President Barack Obama said on Monday that Iran having a nuclear weapon would be a "real problem" but he did not think military action by Israel or the United States was the "ideal way" to solve the crisis.......
"We continue to be open to diplomatic solutions to resolve this, ...we don't think that a war between Israel and Iran or military options would be the ideal way to solve this problem. But we are keeping all our options on the table," he said.
U.S. military commanders have also warned that U.S. or Israeli military strikes against Iran could spark retaliatory action by Tehran and proxy groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza strip that could destabilize the region. ..."
