Obama says he wants progress with Iran by year’s end | Politics | Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama set a rough timetable for his diplomatic outreach to arch-foe Iran for the first time on Monday, saying he wanted to see serious progress by the end of the year.

Or what?

He also held out the prospect of tougher sanctions against Tehran “to ensure that Iran understands we are serious.”

Oh, well, then. That should be more than enough. Let’s not go overboard with the threats, here.
