Key U.S. Policy Priorities
Diplomacy: Barack Obama supports tough and direct
diplomacy with Iran without preconditions. Now is the time to
use the power of American diplomacy to pressure Iran to stop
their illicit nuclear program, support for terrorism, and
threats toward Israel. Obama and Biden will offer the Iranian
regime a choice. If Iran abandons its nuclear program and
support for terrorism, we will offer incentives like membership
in the World Trade Organization, economic investments, and a
move toward normal diplomatic relations. If Iran continues its
troubling behavior, we will step up our economic pressure and
political isolation. In carrying out this diplomacy, we will
coordinate closely with our allies and proceed with careful
preparation. Seeking this kind of comprehensive settlement with
Iran is our best way to make progress.
