foreign policy speech that we re hearing from mitt romney. he chose israel as the place where he would give that speech. you can hear there the applause, the israelis in the audience really liked what he said. he talked of iran, he talked of the fact that he believes that the united states has to lead the effort in preventing iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. iran has denied it is trying to obtain nuclear weapons, saying that its nuclear program is only aimed at trying to build its electricity supply. but that is not something that tehran or israel believes. we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the iranian regime from its nuclear course and it is our fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so. in the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded. we recognize israel s right to defend itself and that it is right for america to stand with you. romney also said that he believed that security of israel is a vital point in the natio
