WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday vowed to push for a diplomatic resolution to Iran's suspected attempt to build a nuclear weapon, while restating his insistence that Tehran will never be allowed to acquire a bomb.

"I will try to make a push in the coming months to see if we can open up a dialogue between Iran and - not just us but the international community - to see if we can get this thing resolved," he said.

"We're not going let Iran get a nuclear weapon, but I think there is still a window of time for us to resolve this diplomatically," added Obama.

@ jabberwolf: I don’t think so, congress would not allow that. The republicans came down on him like a pack of wolves, also he was and still is under tremendous pressure from AIPAC not to have any dialogue with Iran, the only thing he could trade was bombs. Now without the threat of his re elections he is going to pursue a dialogue regardless of what Israel says, Kudos to that. And for all you know he just may come out a winner here.
