(NEWS) US: 'Strike On Iran Would Be Destabilizing'

"US joint chiefs of staff says Washington, Jerusalem in sync.

A military strike against Iran would be 'incredibly destabilizing' to the region said the US chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen. He believes Iran will continue to pursue nuclear weapons, even if sanctions against the country are increased.

Speaking Monday at the Aspen Security Forum, Mullen said it would be 'incredibly dangerous' for Iran to achieve nuclear weapons, and that there's 'no reason to trust' Iran's assurances that it is only pursuing a peaceful nuclear program, especially after the discovery of a secret nuclear facility near the holy city of Qom."
