The Illinois senator said the two had spoken about "common security challenges" facing the two nations: Israeli-Palestinian relations, the improving security atmosphere in Iraq, the rise in violence in Afghanistan, and the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, which "we agreed is an extraordinarily grave situation."
He thanked Sarkozy for the French commitment of troops to the NATO mission in Afghanistan, and said the countries must remain "full partners" in engaging Iran. Obama also warned the six nations that engaged in talks with Iran last weekend in Geneva "don't wait for the next president because the pressure, I think, is only going to build".
