US to focus on Asia-Pacific for greater security: Obama

And with our allies and partners, we're engaged in negotiations to see if we can peacefully achieve a goal we all share: preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Obama said. These negotiations will be difficult, he acknowledged, noting that they may not succeed. "We are clear-eyed about Iran's support for terrorist organisations like Hezbollah, which threaten our allies and the mistrust between our nations cannot be wished away," he said.
