President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have promised to keep Israeli safe and secure. They made separate phone calls on Friday. They spoke to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli's prime minister, who has been upset with the U.S lately due to the U.S's position on Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The two presidents are in a heated political campaign. Romney is claiming that Obama is not taking care of Israeli's security. The U.S believes that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, but Teheran states that the purpose of it is peaceful.
Obama's administration turned down specific "red lines"that Israel and its allies have set on Iran. However, Obama has stated that Iran should not have a nuclear weapons. Romney stated that his policy contradicted Obama's, but he would have drawn the same "red lines."
When asked about the differing policies, Romney stated that it was a matter of action over lip service. Romney says that a military action should be on the table, but even though he claims to not wanting a war, Obama claims that Romney is trying to start a war.
The prime minister of Israeli welcomed Obama's commitment to do what is needed to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
As for the election itself, Obama and Romney are still debating over which states they will win. They are having many fundraisers and doing whatever it will take to become the new president.
I believe that the authors of this article, the CNN political unit, wrote this article to inform us about the ongoing tensions in Iran and how each candidate stands on the issue. I believe another reason for writing this article was to show how heated these campaigns are. It shows just how seriously these candidates are being so that they wil win America's vote.
I still don't prefer either candidate. They both say that they want to fix the issues that the U.S has, but when either of them become the president, they won't fix it because they have already won our vote. If I were old enough to vote, I probably wouldn't vote for either candidate. This is because no candidate deserves my vote if what they say they are going to resolve doesn't happen anyways.
