Chief UN nuclear inspector Mohamed ElBaradei has criticized the Bush administration for discussing the possibility of attacking Iran. ElBaradei said such talk is “very unhelpful” and he encouraged the U.S. try to engage Iran in dialogue over its nuclear program. Two weeks ago, Vice President Dick Cheney acknowledged that the U.S. or Israel may attack Iran. In addition, recent news reports indicate that the US already has secret commandos inside the country and that the Air Force has begun flying over Iranian air space. ElBaradei said “Talk about military activities at this stage is very unhelpful. I cannot see how a military solution can resolve the Iran issue.”
