President Obama and Mitt Romney each placed calls to Israeli Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu on Friday, within hours of each other. Though neither party released many details on what was discussed, both conservations touched upon the looming threat of a nuclear Iran, with Obama vowing to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Romney claiming he will also stop the country from going nuclear but that he doesn't believe military force is necessary.
