Mullen: US Military Has Plans to Attack Iran If Needed
------------------------------------------------------



Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Admiral Mike Mullen acknowledged Sunday that
the US military has developed a plan to attack Iran and its nuclear
facilities, although he said such a strike is an undesirable option.

Mike Mullen: "The military options have been on the table and remain on
the table, and certainly, in that regard, it’s one of the options that
the President has. Again, I hope we don’t get to that, but it’s an
important option, and it’s one that’s well understood."
