L'AQUILA, Italy (AFP) – US President Barack Obama cranked up pressure on Iran by saying Friday world leaders were "appalled" at post-poll violence and would not stand idly by while Iran builds a nuclear weapon.
Welcoming a rare consensus on Iran among the globe's most powerful nations at the L'Aquila summit, Obama told reporters he hoped Tehran would recognize that "world opinion is very clear".
The G8 joint declaration expressed "serious concern" over post-election violence in Iran but called for a negotiated resolution to the standoff over Tehran's nuclear programme, giving it until September's G20 summit.
"And that's been always our premise, is that we provide that door," said Obama.
"But we also say we're not going to just wait indefinitely and allow for the development of the nuclear weapon, the breach of international treaties, and wake up one day and find ourselves in a much worse situation and unable to act.
"So my hope is that the Iranian leadership will look at the statement coming out of the G8 and recognize that world opinion is clear."
Russia, Iran's closest thing to an ally at the world's most powerful top table, argued that the bloody crackdown on opposition protestors after the June 12 polls was an "internal matter", and Washington failed to find support for its call for tougher sanctions against Tehran.
But after his first G8 summit, Obama played down the lack of concrete steps and talked up a united front, particularly since he had avoided a row with Russia.

He must be getting international pressure, cause he sure is deaf at home.
So this is now different from Bush how?
He changes his course on the subject daily. I assume he will be back to appeasement tomorrow and not to meddle in Iran’s business.
World leaders certainly will NOT stand idly by while Iran builds a nuclear weapon!
Instead, they will leer at the pretty girls.
I saw the press conference live. The messiah took about 6 questions and the one about Iran was pathetic. He is so lame and weak the Iranian mullahs must have be laughing as they watched him stumble and bumble over his answer.
It really came down to we are angry, and if you don’t do anything by September we will be even more angry. NO threats other than an angry letter or referral to the UN. What a putz. O knows the Russians will thwart him at the UN, but he has no answer other than ‘diplomacy’, He has no understanding of history, and thus can’t fathom that crazies like Kim and Ammanutjob can’t be ‘talked’ out of their nuclear ambitions.
World leaders certainly will NOT stand idly by while Iran builds a nuclear weapon!

Viva la Change!
Is that what he’s saying now?
That he's a weakling.
The mullahs don’t care what the rest of the world thinks. Sheesh!
We won’t be standing by.
We’ll be busy writing letters. Very, very angry letters!
Indeed they won't.
The protest letters will get progressively larger and larger fonts.
Timid saber-rattling from a man who bows to the Saudis.

Obama won’t “stand idly by while Iran builds a nuclear weapon.”
He will keep himself busy with TV appearances and his perpetual campaign “while Iran builds a nuclear weapon.”
But he doesn’t say he will use US military power to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuke.
Puppident O’butthole will get us into war with Iran to save his Puppetincy.
Anyone know what happened to the post regarding the lawsuit filed against him by a Marine who is suing him based on his illegitimacy as Puppident to issue lawful orders?
It was pulled 10 minutes after being posted due to “Not Breaking Nrews”
would not stand idly by, while Iran builds a nuclear weapon...no... they will idly, stand by while Iran builds a nuclear weapon...
OK, so who's going to step up and build it for them?
