President Obama said Sunday the United States is working in “lockstep” with Israel to deal with Iran’s disputed nuclear program. In an interview with NBC, Obama said he does not think that Israel has made a decision yet to attack Iran.
Matt Lauer of NBC: “Has Israel promised you that they would give you advanced warning to any such attacks, should they give you that warning?”
President Obama: “You know, I won’t go into the details of our conversations. I will say that we have closer military and intelligence consultation between our two countries than we ever have. And my number one priority continues to be the security of the United States, but also the security of Israel, and we are going to make sure that we work in lockstep as we proceed to try to solve this, hopefully diplomatically.”
