WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday the United States is determined to keep Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons but there is still time for diplomacy.
"Concerns about Iran's rogue behavior, its pursuit of nuclear weapons technology and nuclear weapons is not limited to the United States, Europe or Israel," Carney told reporters at the White House. "It's shared by countries around the world, and countries within the region. The threat that Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons technology presents is clear to Israel, it's clear to the United States and its allies, but it's also clear to the countries in the regions for whom the beginning of a nuclear arms race would have terrible and unpredictable effects on those countries."
