President Obama reportedly made the offer during Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington this week. Under the proposed deal, Israel would not attack Iran until 2013, after US elections in November this year. The newspaper cited unnamed Western diplomatic and intelligence sources. Netanyahu said Monday that sanctions against Iran had not worked, adding that "none of us can afford to wait much longer" in taking action against Iran's controversial nuclear program. However, Netanyahu told FOX News Channel on Wednesday that he did not think war with Iran was inevitable. He added that the only way to deter Tehran was to advocate carrying out a serious military strike against the Islamic Republic. "The paradox is that if they actually believe that they are going to face the military option, then you probably will not need the military option," Netanyahu said. The US also believes there is still a "window of opportunity" for the dispute to be resolved diplomatically. Obama told reporters during a White House news conference Tuesday that the US would apply pressure to Iran, "even as we provide a door for the Iranian regime to walk through" to prove its nuclear program is peaceful. The President had met Netanyahu in the Oval Office the day before, where he reaffirmed his "unprecedented commitment" to Israel's security in the Middle East. On Thursday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei welcomed Obama's support for finding a diplomatic solution to the Iranian crisis. "This talk is good talk and shows an exit from illusion," AFP reported Khamenei as saying, citing the leader's website. However, Khamenei criticised the continued imposition of international sanctions against Iran. "The US president continued saying that he wants to make the Iranian people kneel through sanctions, this part of this speech shows the continuation of illusion in this issue," he said. A statement issued Thursday on behalf of the so-called P5+1 countries -- the US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany -- urged Iran to enter into a "serious dialogue" and "without pre-conditions" on its nuclear program. The statement was issued at a meeting of the UN atomic agency in Vienna. "We call on Iran to enter, without pre-conditions, into a sustained process of serious dialogue, which will produce concrete results," it said. On Tuesday, the P5+1 countries accepted an offer from Iran's chief nuclear negotiator to resume talks.

Kick that can down the road, and hope that you are still in office. _
This says so much about this administration. Political. totally. Less so about the security of this country and its allies.
Ever notice anything that might make Obama look bad with his base, he kicks it down until after the election? Obamacare mandates XL pipeline this.
I like this fantasy propoganda. But why not make it more entertaining. Include a few UFO references. A portable egg whisk. Unless really want people to believe the USA in goodness and light, likes iran so much it will give away free stuff.
Why not make it only 40% of American Jewish voters holding their nose & voting GOP this election cycle...
"Unnamed sources" are a common trick that lib journalists used to attack Bush while he was president. When are the lefties going to realize that any game they can think up conservatives can learn to play?
His base is blinded by the light. He could start shipping rail guns to Israel today and his 'twilight zoner' base wouldn't even notice. Odds are Iran will have the 'bomb' by 2013.. what advantage will a few weapons or air in air refueling tankers have for Israel...if there is an Israel in 2013? Bibi's gotta be laughing his ass off at that proposal.
So if Israel agrees with this doesnt that also mean that they dont see Iran as an threat? < well magically they will be in 2013 but not right now> This is disgusting.
Bibi's butt is in a sling.. He's comparing Iran to Nazi Germany which leaves him no way out.. Further, he's afraid of all those freeloading settlers they have recruited to the occupied West Bank.. Last year they promised him that they would bring down his government if he went to the peace table. And, a just peace is the only thing that will diffuse this confrontation with Iran.
Exactly what evidence do you have that Iran will use their nukes even if they succeed in building them? They have never used WMD's before even after another nation used them on them first.
he isn't comparing them...iran is doing it themselves. theysaid they wanted to wipe israel off the face of the earth.
