Mullen: US Military Has Plans to Attack Iran If Needed

HeadlineAug 02, 2010

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.”
