Vice President Joe Biden
said on Saturday there was a “less than even shot” of a nuclear deal with Iran,
but that was still worth pursuing.
Biden made the comments
during a forum on Middle East at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think
tank. He also rejected calls for more sanctions against Tehran while the
negotiations continue.
Biden said despite tactical
disagreements with Israel over Iran’s nuclear program, the U.S. remained fully
dedicated to Israel’s security.
“We will not let Iran
acquire nuclear weapon – period,” Biden said. “End of discussion. Not on our
watch.” (Reuters, 6 December)
