Americans Stand with Israel

Apparently Obama’s love letter to Iran’s new president was reciprocated. Just last month Rouhani called for the destruction of Israel.
I wonder if NSA is following Obama's E-mails(?). While John Kerry was meeting with PM Netanyahu yesterday, to update Bibi on the "progress" made on the ME "peace" talks and Syria, did he also inform the Prime Minister that Obama enjoys chatting with Rouhani? Will Obama's communications with Iran change Kerry's statements to Israel that "Syria accord is no prelude to Iran "deal"?
DAILY NEWS
U.S. President Barack Obama said he and Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, have exchanged letters, while warning that his reluctance to strike Syria had no bearing on U.S. threats of force to thwart any Iranian effort to build a nuclear bomb.
The U.S. president, in an interview aired on ABC News yesterday, confirmed the outreach to Rouhani for the first time, and said he believed the Syria chemical arms drama showed that diplomacy could work if backed by threats of military action.
Obama was asked on the ABC News “This Week” program whether he had reached out to Rouhani, a moderate conservative elected in June. “I have. And he’s reached out to me. We haven’t spoken – directly,” Obama said.
Asked by interviewer George Stephanopoulos whether the contact was via letters, Obama replied: “Yes.” The president was careful to draw a distinction between U.S. behavior over Syria after freezing military action to negotiate a deal with Russia to secure the regime’s chemical arms, and Washington’s approach to Iran as a nuclear showdown reaches a critical point.
“I think what the Iranians understand is that the nuclear issue is a far larger issue for us than the chemical weapons issue,” Obama said.
Washington has repeatedly warned Iran that it has the option of military action, if diplomacy and crippling sanctions do not convince the Islamic republic to stop short of building nuclear weapons.
Iran denies that its nuclear program has a military use.

Bee's Note:
NOTE TO "president" OBAMA: You apparently do not understand Iran's threat to the world (not just Israel) if/when Iran obtains nuclear capabilities. Please stop appointing staff members with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist terrorists - it clouds your judgment.

"JERUSALEM — The U.S. government sought to reassure Israel on Sunday that the U.S.-Russia deal to secure Syria’s chemical weapons does not diminish American resolve to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon."Israel, please check to see if Washington's representatives have their fingers crossed behind their back whenever they make "promises" - especially relating to Iran. I find Obama's refusal to give Israel the "green" light last October despicable.

“I think what the Iranians understand is that the nuclear issue is a far larger issue for us than the chemical weapons issue,” Obama said.
“The threat against ... Israel, that a nuclear Iran poses, is much closer to our core interests. A nuclear arms race in the region is something that would be profoundly destabilizing. My suspicion is that the Iranians recognize they shouldn’t draw a lesson that we haven’t struck [Syria] to think we won’t strike Iran.”But Obama also said the lesson from the showdown over Syria’s chemical weapons should show that “there is the potential of resolving these issues diplomatically.”
Washington has repeatedly warned Iran that it has the option of military action, if diplomacy and crippling sanctions do not convince the Islamic republic to stop short of building nuclear weapons.
Iran denies that its nuclear program has a military use.
