JAN. 10 – Gen. David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, has told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that the United States has developed contingency plans for dealing with Iran’s suspected program to develop nuclear weapons.
“It would be almost literally irresponsible if CENTCOM were not to have been thinking about the various ‘what ifs’ and to make plans for a whole variety of different contingencies,” said Petraeus, whose interview with Amanpour will air today.
According to the report, Petraeus declined to comment about Israel’s military capabilities, when asked about rumors that Israel could attack Iran’s facilities.
