Attack on Iran an option: Bush
 US President George W Bush said on Friday that sanctions against Iran were certainly a real possibility if Tehran does not do enough to ease fears that it is trying to develop nuclear weapons. A free world cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon; not just the US, but those of us who value freedom, Bush told CBS television in an interview. And that is why our strategy is to present and hold together a united front, to say to the Iranians: Your designs to have a nuclear weapon or your desire to have the capability of making a nuclear weapon is unacceptable.Asked whether sanctions would work against Iran, Bush replied: I have said that is certainly a real possibility. Asked whether he had reviewed plans for possible military action, Bush said: I think its best I just leave it that all options should be on the table, and the last option is the military option. Weve got to work hard to exhaust all diplomacy. And thats what the country is seeing happen, Bush said. Posted by: Fred 2006-01-29 |
