Diplomats Play Down Talk of Attack on Iran
[ Reuters] David Alexander - U.S., Iranian and Western diplomats played down worries about an Israeli military attack on Iran's nuclear facilities on Tuesday. "The military option is the last thing that we need to do and it will not be used easily," said a Western diplomat in Tel Aviv. "I don't think there will be an attack in the next six months." The diplomat said there was no consensus in Israel in favor of an attack and the U.S. was unlikely to act because it estimated Iran's nuclear program would not reach a point of no return for about two years.
