Obama aide: All options on table with Iran
The Obama White House is staying low-key as an international agency prepares to issue a report on Iran's nuclear program -- and Iran's claim that the United States and Israel are planning a military strike.

"We, of course, never remove from the table any option in a situation like this, but we are very focused on diplomacy," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Carney declined to comment in detail on the forthcoming report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Agence France-Presse reports that diplomats say the report "will focus on the Islamic republic's alleged efforts to put fissile material in a warhead and developing missiles."

Carney said, "I don't want to get ahead of a report that hasn't come out yet. What I can tell you is that we certainly expect it to echo and reinforce what we've been saying about Iran's behavior and its failure to live up to its international obligations. And it will, I'm sure, echo our concern about Iran's nuclear program."

2. Let the US and Israel never complain about terrorism again if they bomb the Iranian people.
Anyone threatening such a terror strike should be ostracized by the international community.

3. What should they say? "If Iran attacks someone we will ignore it"?
Get real.

That said - Iran is no threat at all.
