Thursday, he made it clear that both could get dealt with if they keep acting up. From The New York Times:

"Appearing at a joint press conference with President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea, Mr. Obama singled out Iran, where leaders have apparently rejected an offer from the West to take Iranโ€™s stockpile of enriched uranium to another country to turn it into fuel rods, which would buy time for diplomatic negotiations.

โ€œWeโ€™ve seen indications that for internal political reasons or perhaps because they are stuck in some of their own rhetoric, they are unable to get to โ€˜yes,โ€™ โ€ Mr. Obama said. โ€œAs a consequence, we have begun discussion with our international partnersโ€ on sanctions, he said.

He said that over the next few weeks the United States would be developing a package of โ€œpotential steps we can take that will indicate our seriousness.โ€
