Obama says there is no evidence Iran has the 'intentions or capabilities' to wage attacks on American soil, stresses U.S. will do everything to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapon.
Obama says Israel isn't Sure !!
U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday that Israel has not yet decided how to respond to concerns about Iran's nuclear program and said there was no evidence that Iran has the "intentions or capabilities" to wage attacks on U.S. soil.
Asked in an NBC interview whether Israel was set to attack Iran, Obama said: "I don't think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do. I think they, like us, believe that
Iran has to stand down on its nuclear weapons program," adding Israel is "rightly concerned" and the United States would work "in lockstep" on Iran.
The Democrat made clear on Sunday that he would not like to see more fighting in the oil-producing Persian Gulf region.
"Any kind of additional military activity inside the Gulf is disruptive and has a big effect on us. It could have a big effect on oil prices, we've still got troops in Afghanistan, which borders Iran, and so our preferred solution here is diplomatic," he said.

Some people like Obama, some people hate Obama.
Regardless how you feel, he is the POTUS .
For him, its not all about rockets, nuke bomb, nuke energy.
People of the US should be aware that a war with Iran has bigger implications, a teetering economy could tank.
The body count on both sides will not be measured in ones or twos, but could be hundreds.
The man is a talker, let him do his job, his way.
