The Pentagon does not rule out a possibility of a military strike against Iran, said the US Secretary of Defense in an interview to the German "Handelsblatt" newspaper. The US may take such a step to foil the Iranian nuclear program and prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
D. Rumsfeld views the Iranian nuclear threat from the angle of Israel's security. The US Secretary of Defense has given to understand that Iran's nuclear program presents a direct threat to the Jewish state. "Any government that says that Israel has no right to existence is actually announcing its possible course of actions in the future", said D. Rumsfeld.
The head of the Pentagon has dutifully accused Iran of backing up international terrorism. He called Tehran "the main sponsor of such terrorist organizations as Hezbollah and Hamas".
