Republican presidential hopeful says U.S. president has failed to communicate that military options are on the table, promises that he would deliver military options on Iran, AFP reports.<snip>
"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Sunday that if U.S. President Obama would be reelected to a second term in the White House, then Iran would surely become nuclear, AFP reported.
"It's pretty straightforward in my view. If Barack Obama is re-elected, Iran will have a nuclear weapon and the world will change if that's the case," AFP quoted Romney as saying to supporters in Atlanta, Georgia.
"This is a president who has failed to put into place crippling sanctions against Iran. And that it's unacceptable to America for Iran to have a nuclear weapon," he said.
Romney promised his supporters that he will speak out about military options on Iran, saying that Obama had "failed to communicate that military options are on the table."
"I will have those military options, I will take those crippling sanctions and put them into place, and I will speak out to the Iranian people of the peril of them becoming nuclear," AFP quoted Romney as saying."

By now, several intelligence agencies assume that North Korea in 2010 indeed performed one nuclear test for Iran, Hans Rühle, formerly a senior official in the German Defense Ministry, asserted Sunday in the daily Die Welt. Rühle said a second North Korean test was also carried out that year on Irans behalf.
On the same day, US President Barack Obama, speaking at the annual conference of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, said that the United States and Israel both assess that Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapon.
