Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney unleashed his harshest criticism yet of President Barack Obama's Iran policy on Sunday. Romney called Obama's policy his "greatest foreign policy failure" and quoted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that "Iran has not changed its nuclear course one iota by virtue of this president's policies." Appearing on the television show Meet the Press, Romney sought to draw a stark line between Obama and himself on the Iran issue, saying: "President Obama had a policy of engagement... I will have a very different approach... I don't think we live with a nuclear Iran. I think we make it very clear that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable to the United States of America, to civilized nations throughout the world, and that we will maintain every option that's available to us to keep that from happening." Romney made it clear that this would include a military option should it prove necessary.
In addition, Romney explicitly mentioned the alliance between Israel and the United States, and claimed that the Iran is "threatening not only to our ally Israel, but threatening to the United States of America." However, the candidate did not give specifics as to the "red lines" that might trigger a military response from the U.S., except for his vague assurance that the military option would remain on the table.
