Obama to Iran: "stay 'on the threshold' but do not cross the Rubicon!'"

"... ..."As far as Israel is concerned, the objective is preventing Iran from attaining nuclear weapons “capability,” whereas Obama’s objective is preventing “nuclear weapons” per se. It is a case of nuclear weapons production capability versus nuclear weapons. Full stop.
