WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama said on Tuesday at a joint press conference with his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy that he expects sanctions on Iran will come in weeks instead of months.
"My hope is that we are going to get this done this spring," Obama said, adding "I'm interested in seeing that regime in place in weeks."
Obama admitted that a consensus has not been achieved among major powers, but he said the US is working very hard to get the job done.
"The time has come to take decisions. Iran cannot continue its mad race," visiting French President Nicolas Sarkozy said at the press conference, voicing clear support to Obama.
