Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday he expects new UN sanctions on Iran by late April or early May and dismissed the notion that Israel might attack the Islamic Republic before first allowing sanctions to take their course.
Biden issued the latest US warning to Iran, which is locked in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program, in an appearance on ABC television's "The View" talk show.
"Everyone from the Israeli prime minister straight through to the British prime minister to the president of Russia, everyone agrees the next step we should take is the UN sanction route," Biden said.
I hope Biden is wrong about Israel agreeing not to hit Iran.
If Israel ever agrees to allow an other country veto power over issues that effect the survivability of the State of Israel, all will be lost.
