U.S. Military Chief Hints Strike on Iran Possible If Nuclear Talks Fail
(Ynet News) Maya Lecker - Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Sunday in Israel that the U.S. administration is very serious regarding its plans to impose harsh sanctions on Iran and hinted that the U.S. could attack Iran if negotiations failed. "This (military strike) option is on the table, but we are not there yet," Mullen said, adding that it was important to let diplomacy and international pressure work before looking into military options. Mullen, who accused Iran of destabilizing the entire Middle East, said that according to estimates, Iran will obtain a nuclear weapon within one to three years.
