US President Barack Obama said on Monday that the bond between the US and Israel is unbreakable, despite tensions over differences in opinion with regard to efforts to seal a landmark atomic deal with Iran.
In an interview with Reuters at the White House, Obama said that a rift over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned speech to Congress opposing the Iran deal on Tuesday was a distraction that would not be "permanently destructive" to US-Israeli ties.
But he said there was a "substantial disagreement" between his administration and the Israeli government over how to achieve their shared goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"If, in fact, Iran is willing to agree to double-digit years of keeping their program where it is right now and, in fact, rolling back elements of it that currently exist ... if we've got that, and we've got a way of verifying that, there's no other steps we can take that would give us such assurance that they don't have a nuclear weapon," Obama said.
The US goal is to make sure "there's at least a year between us seeing them try to get a nuclear weapon and them actually being able to obtain one," he added.

If its no big deal, then why everybody squealing so loud, its laughable
I have never in my life seen such a pathetic little baby in the white house. He warms up to our enemies and hates our allies, he acts like a child when he does not get his way,.
Or...one lesson Obama learned from George W. was not to let the pot simmer without at least making sure your side is in the mix.
OBAMA says no speeches before an election. THIS from the clown who travelled the world and gave speeches during his campaign in 2008?
What a POS.
I am embarrassed by those who still support Bammy. How long has this petulant meltdown been going on?? Two weeks? And we used to lead the Free World?? How far this country has fallen!!
