White House: Iran Warning on Persian Gulf Shows "Weakness"
(VOA News) Kent Klein - President Barack Obama's press secretary, Jay Carney, brushed off Iran's warning to keep a U.S. aircraft carrier out of the Persian Gulf, saying it shows the Iranian government's "weakness." "Iran is isolated and is seeking to divert attention from its behavior and domestic problems," he said. "This is simply a measure of the impact that sanctions have been having on Iran and the broad international support for putting pressure on Iran and isolating Iran because of its refusal to live up to its international obligations."
