Pentagon Developing Options to Deal With Iranian Nuclear Program

The United States’ top military officer says the Pentagon must be ready with military options against Iran’s nuclear program in the event the president calls for them.

In a document outlining U.S. military assessments and priorities, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said he believes diplomacy offers the best chance to resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.

The admiral added that military action remains an option but that it would have “limited results.”
