U.S. President Barack Obama slapped new sanctions on Iran Monday, freezing all property of the Central Bank of Iran, other financial institutions, and the central government.
In the interview that was taped a day earlier, Obama said he preferred a diplomatic solution, but also made clear that the United States is in lockstep with Israel, which has grown impatient and is reportedly considering a military strike against Iran to stop the purported nuclear program.
Obama, who has had a strained relationship with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says the U.S. and Israel “have closer military and intelligence consultation … than we ever have had.”
He wouldn’t say if Israel has agreed to forewarn the White House if it ultimately decides to strike against Iran.
The president is still hopeful that the standoff can be solved by diplomatic means, but he said that the U.S. has done extensive planning on a range of options.
“We are prepared to exercise these options should they arise,” Obama said.
In related news, an Iranian website with links to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, laid out a doctrine offering religious justification for wiping out Israel and Jewish people worldwide.
