Iran says it only wants to produce nuclear power but the International Atomic Energy Agency suspects it is attempting to develop nuclear weapons. In the United States, Obama has come under pressure to take military action to destroy Iran’s suspicious facilities. He condemned “loose talk of war” this week but has stressed that all options are open. A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Tuesday indicated that 56 per cent of Americans would endorse strikes against Iran if there were evidence of it having a nuclear weapons capacity. Israel has also indicated it could launch a unilateral attack.
