(Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday that Iran should commit to a verifiable freeze of at least 10 years on its nuclear activity for a landmark atomic deal to be reached, but said the odds were still against sealing a final agreement.
In an interview with Reuters at the White House, Obama said that a rift over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned speech to Congress opposing the Iran deal on Tuesday was a distraction that would not be "permanently destructive" to U.S. Israeli ties.
But he said there was a "substantial disagreement" between his administration and the Israeli government over how to achieve their shared goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
“If, in fact, Iran is willing to agree to double-digit years of keeping their program where it is right now and, in fact, rolling back elements of it that currently exist ... if we’ve got that, and we’ve got a way of verifying that, there’s no other steps we can take that would give us such assurance that they don’t have a nuclear weapon," he said.
The U.S. goal is to make sure "there’s at least a year between us seeing them try to get a nuclear weapon and them actually being able to obtain one," Obama said.
Israel fears that Obama's Iran diplomacy, with an end-of-March deadline for a framework nuclear agreement, will still allow its arch-foe to develop an atom bomb. Tehran denies it is seeking nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu has spoken scathingly about a possible deal, saying negotiators appear to have given up on a pledge to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He says a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an existential threat to the Jewish state.

Everybody got that? "don't have a nuclear weapon?" As in present tense. As in, the debate has shifted away from future action. As in, they can have a nuclear weapon anytime in the future, sanction free.
This is why Netanyahu is speaking. He knew of this sell out months ago.
Does he think the world will be kinder and gentler in ten years?
Clinton used the same ‘honor system’ negotiating tactic with the Norks.
Hudnas traditionally last up to ten years. During this fake peace, preparations for the ensuing war are made.
O is negotiating an Islamically correct temporary truce.
The Imam in the White House will do anything to keep from having to bomb Iran including threatening Israel if it plans to do so.
Don't Trust Him Bibi!
“there’s at least a year between us seeing them try to get a nuclear weapon and them actually being able to obtain one,”
You haven’t been right yet.....about anything!
He thinks it will be kinder and gentler to him in ten years. (Days filled completely with golf and surfing. Romantic walks with Reggie on a moonlit beach. And nobody has attacked Hawaii since 1941. What does Zero need to worry about?)
After which they 0bama is long gone and Iran gets to assemble the bomb. I’m sure Israel is so relieved.
Simple solution to the whole thing: Offer to provide Iran with thorium reactors for energy (Big Daddy Rothschild can afford it) in exchange for them giving up the uranium/plutonium ****. You can’t make bombs out of thorium and it’s hundreds of times more efficient for producing energy than uranium is. If they were to refuse that deal, then anybody cold feel good about bombing them.
yet another Moslem ‘10 year treaty’ —eh?
hey gang, the world has wisened up to this old trick!
(originated with Mohammed himself...make a temporary only traaty for not more than 10 years, during which time ...while your treaty partners relax and enjoy life, you ARM yourself stronger and stronger ...until you can DEFEAT them... and then...break the treaty and ATTACK!)
old trick, we can read history Obama. we’re on to this trick.
Obama’s means that Iran shouldn’t make the effort because he plans to give them some.
If they like their nuke program, they can keep their nuke program.
See? He doesn’t always lie!

I am taking a stab in the dark here, but would that just happen to coincide with the 12th Mahdi showing his ugly Islamomarxist face at the UN?
Exclusive: Obama says Iran must halt nuclear work for at least a decade
What they aren’t telling you is once Iran agrees to Halt their Nuke Program, the US will GIVE THEM THE NUKES THEY WANT.
That was Jimmuh Carter. Clinton only signed on after he realized that Congress didn’t care. Seems like Déjà vu...
You can trust our taquiyya flavored word!”
~Your Islamic brother, Iran XOXO
“The U.S. goal is to make sure “there’s at least a year between us seeing them try to get a nuclear weapon and them actually being able to obtain one,” Obama said.”
Meanwhile time marches on ...
Eighteen months and counting since ‘negotiations’ began ..
I’m sure they’ll say “Yes sir, right away”. Uh-huh.
