White House says Obama will work with Israel on Iran [UPDATE 2] SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- President Obama called the agreement between Iran and Western leaders over Iran's nuclear program the result of "clear-eyed diplomacy" with a U.S. adversary. "For the first time in almost a decade we've halted the progress on Iran's nuclear program," Obama said Monday before discussing immigration reform in San Francisco. Key parts of program will be rolled back. "As the strongest and most powerful nation on face of the Earth, we've engaged in clear-eyed and principled diplomacy, even with out adversaries," resulting in constraints placed on Iran's nuclear program. "This diplomacy, backed by the unprecedented sanctions we brought on Iran," resulted in the agreement, he said. International inspectors having "unprecedented access" to Iran's nuclear-related facilities will "help Iran from building a nuclear weapon." "If Iran seizes this opportunity and chooses to join global community, then we can begin to chip away at the mistrust" between the United States and Iran, Obama said. "We cannot close the door on diplomacy; we cannot rule out peaceful solutions to end the world's problems," the president said. The White House said Obama plans to work closely with Israel as the United States prepares for more talks with Iran. White House Josh Earnest said Obama wants to start consulting "with our Israeli allies immediately." "We're also ready to begin conversations with the Iranians, again, through the P5+1," Earnest told reporters Monday, referring to the negotiating team made up of the five permanent U.N. Security Council members -- China, Britain, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Germany. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said a team will travel to Washington to discuss issues concerning the final nuclear agreement with Iran. Referring to the agreement secured in Geneva before dawn Sunday by Iran and the P5+1 countries, Netanyahu once again called the agreement aimed at halting the Islamic Republic's nuclear program a "bad agreement." Obama, on a West Coast swing, called Netanyahu after the Israeli leader told reporters the six-month deal, intended to buy time to pursue more comprehensive talks to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, was "a historic mistake."
