But months of negotiations have yielded little, and pressure is mounting on the president to find other ways to curtail the country&#8217;s rapidly advancing nuclear program. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/biden-israel-trip-plan\">EMBATTLED BIDEN LOOKS FOR FOREIGN POLICY &#8216;PLAN B&#8217; IN TRIP TO ISRAEL<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Still, Biden declined to give a timeline for when the clock would run out on Tehran for a return to the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran\u2019s timeline to acquiring a weapon has shrunk to a week or less by some estimates.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking moments earlier, Lapid stressed the need to threaten force against Iran and other countries threatening peace and stability, something Biden has conceded as an option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing that will stop Iran is knowing if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world will use force,\u201d Lapid said. \u201cThe only way to stop them is to put a credible military threat on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mentioning 9\/11, Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, and impugning those \u201cwho do not play by the rules,\u201d Lapid said the threat posed by Iran to Israel\u2019s way of life could not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>In order to protect freedom, Lapid said, \u201csometimes, force must be used.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Biden promised an \u201ciron-clad\u201d commitment that Israel will have the tools to protect itself, recalling the long history between the two nations dating back to Israel\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what this visit is about, affirming those ties,\u201d Biden said. \u201cWe\u2019re here to stay, Mr. Prime Minister. Like it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president has repeated his promise to do all he can to stop Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, including Thursday after meeting one-on-one with Israel&#8217;s interim leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no nuclear Iran,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThis is not only a threat to Israel, but to the world, and we discussed some other issues we are going to keep to ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He had said one day earlier that he would be willing to use force if necessary \u201cas a last resort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing more dangerous than the Iran that exists now is an Iran with nuclear weapons,\u201d Biden told Israel\u2019s Channel 12.<\/p>\n<p>But the president said he still hoped for a mutual return to the 2015 nuclear accord, a deal brokered by the Obama administration during his time as vice president.<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The deal forced checks on Iran\u2019s nuclear fuel program and imposed a cap on its enrichment levels. A return to the pact would allow the U.S. to \u201chold them tight,\u201d Biden said of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Biden arrived in Jerusalem Wednesday for the start of a four-day swing across the Middle East with stops in Israel, the West Bank, and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JERUSALEM \u2014 One day after warning that military force would be an option to stop Iran&#8217;s nuclear advances, President Joe Biden said time was<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1555630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1555627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1555627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1555630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1555627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1555627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1555627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
