ASP Board Member Adm Fallon on U.S. Policy Options in Iran
ASP Board member, Adm Fallon, joined Gen. James Cartwright in a Center for Strategic & International Studies & TCU Schieffer School of Journalism event in Washington yesterday discussing US policy options regarding Iran.
CSPAN noted:
Cartwright said that he believes the likelihood that “something flips the switch” for a U.S. military strike is low. He added that such action would be very difficult because of the number of targets. He added that even if those targets were taken out, the U.S. or Israel would not be able to take out the intellectual capital of Iran’s nuclear program completely and they could simply rebuild. He said that the concern right now is that the weapon or the technology could fall into the wrong hands.
Fallon echoed similar concerns and and said that he is now aware of anyone who believes that a military strike would produce positive results. He added that sanctions have effected Iran’s ability to do business among other things, such as import food.
Bob Schieffer, CBS News chief Washington correspondent and anchor of “Face the Nation” moderated the conversation.
