Obama Orders Pentagon to “Rejuvenate Contingency Plans” for Iran Attack

As Washington gets updates on Israeli plans to strike Iran, US President Barack Obama orders the Pentagon to rejuvenate contingency plans for the use of military in Iran.
Despite the prospects of diplomatic engagement with Tehran over its nuclear program, Defense Secretary and Pentagon chief Robert Gates said Friday that the White House has not ruled out the possibility of a military strike if diplomacy was to fail. “And all I would say is that, as a result of our dialogue with the president, we’ve refreshed our plans and all options are on the table.”
