He also speaks about Iran's nuclear program, warning that "the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon." Obama comments on a number of democratic movements in the Arab world calling for cooperation, open minds, and a focus on education and economic development instead of sectarian violence.
