奧巴馬將與內塔尼亞胡討論伊朗核項目

U.S. President Barack Obama is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks on Iran's nuclear program, a day after saying he prefers to resolve the issue diplomatically instead of by force. The meeting Monday at the White House comes at a time of heightened global concern about Iran's nuclear program and possible preemptive action by Israel.

Mr. Obama told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington Sunday that now is the time to let "increased pressure sink in" and sustain the broad international coalition against Iran possessing nuclear weapons. In his speech to members of the influential AIPAC, Mr. Obama said there is already "too much loose talk of war" with Iran. But he also reaffirmed his commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, including using military action. Mr. Netanyahu said Sunday he appreciated Mr. Obama's remarks that "all options are on the table" and that Israel must be able to defend itself against any threat. The Israeli leader will address AIPAC later Monday.美國總統奧巴馬將與以色列總理內塔尼亞胡就伊朗的核項目舉行會談。一天前，奧巴馬錶示，他傾向於不使用武力而是用外交手段解決伊朗核項目問題。

此次會談星期一將在白宮舉行，國際社會此時對伊朗核項目以及以色列可能採取先發制人行動感到更加擔憂。

奧巴馬星期天在華盛頓對美國以色列公共事務委員會表示，現在應該讓“已經加大的壓力發揮作用”，並且維持反對伊朗擁有核武器的廣泛國際同盟。奧巴馬在向這個有巨大影響力的委員會成員發表講話時說，那種“向伊朗開戰的言論”已經過多，而且過於隨便。但是他重申了要阻止伊朗獲得核武器的承諾，包括保留採取軍事行動的選擇。內塔尼亞胡星期天說，奧巴馬提出了“保留所有選擇”的說法，以色列必須有能力防禦任何威脅，他對此表示讚賞。內塔尼亞胡星期一晚些時候將向美國以色列公共事務委員會發表講話。
