Everyone is nervous but agree that talking and negotiating is the best way to maintain peace.
Mullen: Iran is very focused on developing nuclear capability
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen spoke Tuesday about Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon in rare comments by a US official, acknowledging the possibility that Iran will succeed in acquiring a capability America has long termed unacceptable.
"I believe Iran is very focused on developing this capability, and I think when they get it, or should they get it, it will be very destabilizing," Mullen told the Center for Strategic and International Studies Tuesday, in an address on military challenges in the Middle East, sponsored in connection with the embassy of the United Arab Emirates.
Mullen said that an attack on Iran would be similarly destabilizing, as in both cases, "there are unintended consequences that are very difficult to predict in a very volatile, highly volatile part of the world."
