Adm Michael Mullen, who took over as chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff three weeks ago, said diplomacy remained the priority in dealing with Iran’s suspected plans to develop a nuclear weapon and its [alleged] support for anti-US ‘insurgents’ in Iraq. But at a press conference he said: “there is more than enough reserve to respond (militarily) if that, in fact, is what the national leadership wanted to do”.
