US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Obama Administration has kept all the options on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"The (US) President has made his policy crystal clear. No option is off the table, and Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. That's the policy. I reaffirm it today," Kerry told US lawmakers yesterday at a Congressional hearing held by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
"We are going to continue to leave the door to diplomacy open, but we understand there is a clock," he said in response to a question.
