• Romney does not believe that the US is unable to deal
with Iran military. He would not use ground forces for the attack
on Iran but instead would use "blockade, bombardment and surgical
military strikes" for the purpose.
• Romney promised that as President he would not shrink
the uses of the military force especially when serious threats
confront the US. As an alternative Romney seeks to get the
Congress involved according to the law and the Constitution.
• During the 2008 election campaign, Mitt Romney ran an ad
concluding, "We can and will stop Iran from acquiring nuclear
weapons."
• According to Romney, Iranians are an intolerant and
repressive regime that supports terrorism and develops nuclear
weapons. Owing to this the spread of weapons throughout the world
could pose a threat to all.
• Romney believes that if this situation is to continue
and Iran is allowed to develop nuclear weapons the threat is
bound to take a totally new dimension that could be hazardous for
all nations.
• According to Romney, economic sanctions against Iran
should be tightened by denying Iran access to international
banking system, discouraging it from obtaining credit or
purchasing by foreign currency. Romney has also supported
strategic divestment from companies that support Iranian regime's
hazardous actions.
• Romney further believes that Iran should be
diplomatically isolated with only communication channels
remaining open to them.
• He opines that the Iranian people should be made to
understand that though nuclear capabilities seem to be a source
of pride it also can become a source of peril.
• Mitt Romney feels that Iran should work with the Muslim
communities and their leaders to build a lasting relationship and
partnership for progress and prosperity.

• Barack Obama strongly condemns the recent beatings,
threats and imprisonments of the people of Iran protesting the
election irregularities. He mourns with his country for the
victims of injustice. Obama says he is appalled and outraged by
these actions.
• Obama offers a 'new beginning' to the people of Iran to
end the 30 years of animosity that has been between two nations.
• Obama said he wanted to "speak directly to the people
and leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran" and express his
desire to establish 'constructive ties' between these two
countries.
• Obama opines that the global leaders should engage
themselves to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and
enriching uranium. He mentioned that the Iranian President is
"reckless, irresponsible and inattentive" to the people's
day-to-day needs.
• President Obama gave Iran an option if they abandon
their nuclear program and their support for terrorism his country
would offer incentives of being members of the World Trade
Organization and economic investments and they would be able to
move towards normal diplomacy.
• Obama would act fast to mobilize the international
community to "offer a series of big sticks and big carrots to the
Iranian regime to stand down on nuclear weapons."
• In Obama's opinion the Iranian 'regime is a threat to
all' as it would lead to other countries as well. Obama still
does not deny the incentive package to Iran but favors it.
• Eventually Obama realizes that diplomacy towards crazy
socialist dictators will not work out favorably it would only
encourage them to become more aggressive.
