Vice President Biden responded to Paul Ryan’s criticism of the administration’s handling of Iran’s nuclear program, saying that the administration is already pursuing multilateral strategies with Israel and other allies, including strong economic sanctions.

“So all this bluster I keep hearing, all of this loose talk, what are they talking about?” said Biden. “Are you talking about, to be more credible? What more can the president do? Stand before the United Nations, tell the world, directly communicate that we will not let them acquire a nuclear weapon, period.

“Unless he’s talking about going to war.”
