Britain does not rule out military action against Iran over its controversial nuclear program, Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Monday. Asked about the possibility of military action, Hague said: "We are not considering that at the moment. We are not calling or advocating military action. At the same time we say all options should remain in future."
Mr Hague, speaking to reporters during talks between EU foreign ministers, said: "Of course we will also look over the coming months to increase the peaceful legitimate pressure on Iran as part of our dual track approach of being available for negotiations if they're real negotiations but at the same time placing more pressure on Iran through sanctions."
The 27 ministers will discuss the possibility of new sanctions on Iran. "Strong new restrictive measures" would be chosen at a new meeting in a couple of weeks should Iran dig in its heels, said diplomats.

ION TOPIX > [US SecDef]PANETTA: MILITARY STRIKE AGZ IRAN TO HAVE "UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES", for ME Region + US.
At best, Paney believes that any US, Israeli milstrike agz Iran now will merely DELAY its NucProgs by NMT three years [2014-2015?].
IIUC, PANETTA = has indirectly argued that, short of internal "Regime Change", the only real way to stop Iran from acquiring NucWeaps is via MILITARY INVASION + OCCUPATION.
[1960's = 1980's OLIVER STONE'S "PLATOON", MTV "WHITE RABBIT" VIDEO here].
