AMMAN, March 22 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday in Amman that the United States believes that diplomacy is the best resolution to the Iranian nuclear program as he said all options remain on the table in this regard.

"Iran has no credibility to convince the world that it is developing nuclear capabilities for peaceful reasons. Iran's possession of nuclear race is a regional and international problem, " Obama said at a press conference in Amman along with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

"I will maintain all options to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons as that will be dangerous," he said. Iran needs to assure the international community that it is not seeking nuclear bombs, said Obama.

"The issue with Iran is solvable. We will apply pressure to solve the problem," he said.

The Jordanian leader said any military action against Iran will worsen the situation, adding no one can guarantee what is going to happen in case of regional war.
