A former CIA director says military action against Iran now seems more likely because no matter what the U.S. does diplomatically, Tehran keeps pushing ahead with its suspected nuclear program.Rico says hide and watch; this is gonna get ugly...
Michael Hayden, a CIA chief under President George W. Bush, says that during his tenure a strike was "way down the list" of options. But he tells CNN's State of the Union that such action now "seems inexorable". He predicts Iran will build its program to the point where it's just short of having an actual weapon. Hayden says that would be as destabilizing to the region as the real thing.
US officials have said military action remains an option if sanctions fail to deter Iran.
Iran says its nuclear work is for peaceful purposes such as power generation.
