Romney backs Israel's right to sole Iran strike

Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate in the US presidential election, would respect an Israeli decision to use military force to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, a senior aide said yesterday.

Mr Romney met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on the second leg of a foreign trip aimed at bolstering his foreign policy credentials.

His aim is to garner the pro-Israel vote and carry sufficient authority to unseat President Barack Obama in the November poll.
