US refuses to rule out use of force against Iran

MELBOURNE: Stepping up pressure on Iran, US Vice President Dick Cheney on Saturday refused to rule out the use of force to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

"It would be a serious mistake if a nation like Iran were to become a nuclear power," Cheney warned during a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard. "All options are still on the table."

Cheney said that the US was working with it allies to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear weapons programmes, and that it was Washington's preference for that to happen peacefully.

"The next step toward getting Iran to abandon its nuclear programmes was still being debated," he said.
