(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Governor, great to find out you, sir.

MITT ROMNEY, GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE/FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR : Thanks, Greta, good that they are by using you.

VAN SUSTEREN: Fun to have you. OK, sir, this morning I read your newspaper right here throughout Israel, along with "Haaretz" is canceling the fact that United States National Security Adviser Donilon is passed here, along with your dog had been briefing Prime Minister Netanyahu on the doable strike. And I wondered in the event you experienced a sense of which we're finer that will war, and also this Israel is actually more detailed to be able to a battle having Iran?

ROMNEY: Well, I understand that there's also reports this that is definitely not what precisely happened whenever the nationwide stability agent appeared to be here, so we'll have got to allow the actual nationwide reliability adviser and the Israeli authorities to express to us all exactly what happened. But this getting said, I think we all understand that we are closer for you to seeing Iran getting a nuclear country as compared to i was various many years ago. I taken place to be able to chat at the Herziliya management meeting personal training a long time ago, laid out and about your seven actions I concept were necessary in order to deter Iran through turning out to be nuclear. It's obtained a long time. Some of these measures will be just now being put in place, plus hopefully which those non-military options will always be powerful with keeping Iran from having a program which usually could demand other options.

So I thought that is definitely form of your prime minister saying, look, you know, Iran's moving forward as well as the sanctions won't be working. Nothing is working. And quite simply that you're giving us some sort of point that this could possibly be more detailed compared to most people thought.

ROMNEY: Well, I aren't able to converse for that prime minister, but I can tell you in which I believe we must carry out the many political, economic and also diplomatic options which might be probable to the globe to place pressure on Iran, to acquire these recognize exactly what them means to possibly be crippled economically, diplomatically, by virtue of these nuclear ambitions. But at the same time, we understand that if along the road, these kinds of sanctions usually are ineffective, that you'll find various other options, plus so it will be unsatisfactory to be able to America so to this world for Iran for being some sort of nuclear nation.
