Obama heckled during speech on Iran

As Obama discussed foreign policy on Thursday, a woman yelled out, “Use your leadership! No war in Iran!”

In response, Obama said, “Nobody’s announced a war, young lady. You’re jumping the gun a little bit.”

The US and Israeli officials have intensified anti-Iran war rhetoric in recent months to put more pressure on the country over its peaceful nuclear energy program.

There have been several anti-war demonstrations across the United States to protest against war threats made against Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top Tel Aviv officials have put the Obama administration under pressure to adopt a more aggressive policy against Iran rather than imposing sanctions.

Netanyahu is also due to meet Obama in Washington on March 5 to discuss Iran’s nuclear energy program.

The US, Israel and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program.

Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency has never found any evidence indicating that Tehran’s nuclear program has been diverted towards nuclear weapons production.
