Obama: U.S. and Israel in "Lockstep" on Iran 
---------------------------------------------



President Obama said Sunday the United States is working in "lockstep"
with Israel to deal with Iran's disputed nuclear program. In an
interview with NBC, Obama said he does not think that Israel has made a
decision yet to attack Iran.

Matt Lauer of NBC: "Has Israel promised that they will give you advanced
warning to any such attacks should they give you that warning?"

President Obama: "You know, I won't go into the details of that
conversation. I will say that we have closer military and intelligence
consultation between our two countries than we've ever had. My number
one priority continues to be the security of the United States, but also
the security of Israel, and we are gonna make sure that we work in
lockstep as we proceed to solve this, hopefully diplomatically."
