WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the United States would “walk away” from nuclear talks with Iran if there’s no acceptable deal.
Obama says any agreement must allow Western powers to verify that Tehran isn’t going to obtain an atomic weapon, and that even if Iran “cheated,” the U.S. and others would have “enough time to take action.”
The president tells CBS’ “Sunday Morning” that “if we don’t have that kind of deal, then we’re not going to take it.”
Big gaps remain to bridge if the sides are to reach a deal by the end of March deadline set by negotiators. The next round of talks is set to begin March 15.
Iran says the program is peaceful and exists only to produce energy for civilian use.

Obama has been saying this for months now — but the press, and the Republicans in Congress along with their Likud party buddies have been blind and deaf to this reality. Instead they would rather conspire to reduce the power of a President they despise and influence the election in Israel.
Do people still want to believe politics in the US in not all about race? Republican leadership en masse refuses to participate in the 50th anniversary of the Selma March, a week after they engaged in an all-White, mostly male circle jerk with Bibi — look at the photos. Bibi standing were the President stands, seated behind him are the tan-white man John Boehner, and the pale Orrin Hatch. In the lager photo of Netanyahu coming down the aisle, it shows only white men, and 3 white women members of Congress schmoozing their President for the day, Bibi the schmuck.
There was never any doubt in the real world. In the Netanyahu wing of American politics though, War is imminent, which if you listen to them at least, it is. Us the US vs. Iran with Beebs Netanyahu hiding behind his Boener.
