(DPA,Haaretz).Iran will suffer consequences as a result of its refusal to cooperate with the international community on its nuclear program, U.S. President Barack Obama said during his first State of the Union address Wednesday night in Washington.
The U.S. president's comments came as Time Magazine reported late Wednesday night that the Obama administration was preparing to circulate new sanctions against Tehran.
In his speech, Obama warned that Iranian leaders will face "consequences" if Tehran does not come clean about its nuclear goals, which the West suspects are meant to produce a weapon. Iran claims its program is limited to civilian energy uses.
"As Iran's leaders continue to ignore their obligations, there should be no doubt: they, too, will face growing consequences," Obama said.
