Shimon Peres tells Obama he must put all options on table with Iran
Days before Israel’s president, Shimon Peres, was to meet with President Obama, Mr. Peres said on Thursday that the United States must make clear to Iran that “all options are on the table,” but he acknowledged that there was disagreement over where to draw the “red line” that would set off military intervention.
“We need a total and clear commitment that the catastrophe of Iran will not create an impossible situation,” Mr. Peres said in an hourlong interview at a Manhattan hotel. “If you can achieve it by economic and political measures, yes, that’s the best way to start. But in order that the Iranians will take it seriously, you have to say, ‘Gentlemen, we’ll try the way which may be the best, but all the other options are on the table.’ “You have to be decisive,” he said. “You have to make a choice.”
