• Romney does not believe that the US is unable to deal with Iran military. He would not use
ground forces for the attack on Iran but instead would use "blockade, bombardment and surgical
military strikes" for the purpose.

• Romney promised that as President he would not shrink the uses of the military force
especially when serious threats confront the US. As an alternative Romney seeks to get the Congress
involved according to the law and the Constitution.

• During the 2008 election campaign, Mitt Romney ran an ad concluding, "We can and will stop
Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons." 

• According to Romney, Iranians are an intolerant and repressive regime that supports
terrorism and develops nuclear weapons. Owing to this the spread of weapons throughout the world
could pose a threat to all.

• Romney believes that if this situation is to continue and Iran is allowed to develop
nuclear weapons the threat is bound to take a totally new dimension that could be hazardous for all
nations.

• According to Romney, economic sanctions against Iran should be tightened by denying Iran
access to international banking system, discouraging it from obtaining credit or purchasing by
foreign currency. Romney has also supported strategic divestment from companies that support Iranian
regime's hazardous actions.

• Romney further believes that Iran should be diplomatically isolated with only communication
channels remaining open to them.

• He opines that the Iranian people should be made to understand that though nuclear
capabilities seem to be a source of pride it also can become a source of peril.

• Mitt Romney feels that Iran should work with the Muslim communities and their leaders to
build a lasting relationship and partnership for progress and prosperity.
