The White House warned US lawmakers Tuesday that tightening sanctions on Iran could box America into a “march to war” and derail a diplomatic push to limit Tehran’s atomic program.

The warning marked a significant toughening of President Barack Obama’s stance towards Congress as he prepares to resume high-stakes nuclear diplomacy with Iran later this month.

“The American people do not want a march to war,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

Obama has vowed he will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, but last week intense negotiations in Geneva between Iran and six world powers failed to reach an interim deal to halt its program.

Fresh from the talks, Secretary of State John Kerry heads to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to make the case for continued diplomacy.

Hell, that is no warning to some in congress. Starting a war is exactly what they are after...

Unfortunately, there are some RWers who want war in Iran so desperately they publicly side with Netanyahu's whiny call for war over Obama and Kerry's proactive work to achieve diplomatic solutions.
