US Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not rule out a military intervention to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons capabilities during an interview on Sunday with CBS News public affairs program Face the Nation.
Speaking from the G20 summit in Rome, the top US diplomat said that they are “looking at, as necessary, other options if Iran is not prepared to engage quickly in good faith” to return to talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.
The show’s moderator, Margaret Brennan, asked Blinken if other options includes the military.
“Well, as we always say, every option is on the table,” the secretary of state replied.
Blinken emphasized that the diplomatic route is preferable with Iran returning to the negotiating table in Vienna for talks that have been stalled since June when hardliner Ebrahim Raisi was elected president.

Blinken doesn’t need to rule it out military options; it automatically is ruled out with these feckless pacifists in the Biden administration. Besides, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani wrote on Twitter, a few days ago, following meetings with EU officials in Brussels, that he “had a very serious & constructive dialogue with [EU political director Enrique Mora] on the essential elements for successful negotiations. We agree to start negotiations before the end of November.” So, Blinken is just trying to sound tough; negotiations are already a done deal. But just how tough is the Biden administration? Just take a look at Afghanistan, and you have your answer.
These officials in power embrace only one military option: against US citizens who won’t bow to their wishes.
Don’t people realize this is another recycled fabricated report without a percentage of truth?
The Biden administration is as tough as nails. They don’t play around with the enemy.
