CIA chief threatens Iran/World Bulletin

Diplomacy with saber rattling.

http://www.worldbulletin.net/world/156874/cia-chief-threatens-iran

The Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan warned Sunday that there will be "tremendous costs and consequences" for Iran if the Iranian leadership go for a breakout in nuclear talks.

CIA director's comments came amid the negotiations between the world powers and Iran in the Swiss city of Lausanne to produce a framework for a comprehensive deal on Iran's controversial nuclear program.

"There are a number of things that the United States has available to it to prevent Iran from getting a bomb," Brennan told Chris Wallace of Fox News. "So, if they decide to go down that route, they know that they will do so at their peril."

The U.S. President Barack Obama as well as senior administration officials have pledged that the U.S. would prevent Iran from having nuclear weapon asserting that all options including using military force are on table in case of any break on Iranian side.
