US Rejects Israel Calls for Tougher Moves on Iran

The divisions come against the backdrop of November's U.S. presidential elections, in which Mr. Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has tried to paint the Democratic president as weak in his support for Israel. The U.S.-Israeli exchange also comes as Washington tries to convince its ally not to launch military strikes against Iran.
