U.S. Attack On Iran Mulled For Summer

Western defense sources and analysts said Britain and the United States were preparing for the prospect of air strikes against Iran in late 2006. They said both London and Washington agreed to complete a diplomatic effort at the United Nations Security Council before they seriously consider plans to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. ‘In just the past few weeks I've been convinced that at least some in the administration have already made up their minds that they would like to launch a military strike against Iran,’ Joseph Cirincione, director of the Washington-based Non-Proliferation Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said.
