Obama: Iran’s Anti-American, Anti-Semitic Rhetoric ‘Is Deeply Disturbing’

‘There is no doubt that, given the history between our two countries, that there is deep mistrust that is not going to fade away immediately’

OBAMA: "I think that it’s important to recognize that Iran is a complicated country — just like we’re a complicated country. There is no doubt that, given the history between our two countries, that there is deep mistrust that is not going to fade away immediately. The activities that they engage in, the rhetoric, both anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, is deeply disturbing. There are deep trends in the country that are contrary to not only our own national security interests and views but those of our allies and friends in the region, and those divisions are real."
