excerpts from: Transcript of press conference given by PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the PM of the United Kingdom Gordon Brown

(Israeli) Prime Minister’s Office website, 25 August 2009

QUESTION: […] [D]o you think that inevitably eventually a military action will have to be taken against Iran if everything else fails?

GORDON BROWN: […] [W]e have to leave open every option in our dealings with Iran and at the same time, if there is no further progress immediately, I believe the world will have to look at stepping up sanctions against Iran as a matter of priority.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: […] [T]ime is running out. It is late in the day, but it is not too late. If there is a firm resolve by the international community to apply crippling sanctions […] then however late the hour the future can be secured. […]

excerpt from: Obama interview: the transcript

BBC World Service website, 2 June 2009

BBC: What the Israelis say is that they have managed to persuade you at least to concentrate on Iran and to give what’s — behind the scenes they’re calling it a bit of an ultimatum to the Iranians: By the end of this year there must be some real progress.

OBAMA: Well, the only thing I’d correct on that is I don’t think the Israelis needed to convince me of that, since I’ve been talking about it for the last two years.

[US President Barack Obama, BBC World Service interview, 1 June 2009]
