奥巴马将与内塔尼亚胡讨论伊朗核项目

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.

此次会谈星期一将在白宫举行，国际社会此时对伊朗核项目以及以色列可能采取先发制人行动感到更加担忧。

奥巴马星期天在华盛顿对美国以色列公共事务委员会表示，现在应该让“已经加大的压力发挥作用”，并且维持反对伊朗拥有核武器的广泛国际同盟。奥巴马在向这个有巨大影响力的委员会成员发表讲话时说，那种“向伊朗开战的言论”已经过多，而且过于随便。但是他重申了要阻止伊朗获得核武器的承诺，包括保留采取军事行动的选择。内塔尼亚胡星期天说，奥巴马提出了“保留所有选择”的说法，以色列必须有能力防御任何威胁，他对此表示赞赏。内塔尼亚胡星期一晚些时候将向美国以色列公共事务委员会发表讲话。
