Axelrod: 'No difference' between US, Israel on Iran

By Meghashyam Mali - 03/04/12 06:12 PM ET

Obama's top political adviser, David Axelrod, on Sunday downplayed disagreements between the United States and Israel on addressing Iran's nuclear program.

"There's no difference between the United States and Israel on the issue of whether Iran should get a nuclear weapon," said Axelrod on ABC's "This Week." "There's no difference between — in the objective here. 

"They're going to sit down and they are going to talk through the tactics involved, but no one should doubt the president's resolve. Not just because of the security of Israel, but because of the security of the United States of America. It is important that Iran not get a nuclear weapon," said Axelrod.
