Barack Obama says that gaps in talks with Iran over its nuclear program have been "sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified" that world powers can now present the Islamic Republic with an agreement. "We are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable they are not producing a nuclear weapon," Obama said. "They have to make a decision." The president joined US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in rejecting prospects for further delays. In a White House press conference hosting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the president addressed concerns over Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming visit to Washington, when he is expected to criticize the diplomatic effort. "It does not make sense to sour the negotiations a month or two before they're about to be complete.” Obama also snidely inferred that PM Netanyahu has political motives for coming to Washington: He noted that German Chancellor Merkel “would not seek an invitation to the White House” so close to her own elections. Obama said he will not meet Netanyahu during his visit, which comes a few weeks before the prime minister seeks re-election. The speech before Congress is expected on March 3. Obama's allies fear the trip could be used by Israel and by US Republicans, who control Congress and issued the invitation, to undercut ongoing nuclear talks with Tehran. (Jerusalem Post)
