Cheney: Iran war still a possibility Sat, 03 Nov 2007 22:45:41 Hawkish US Vice President Dick Cheney US Vice President Dick Cheney says Washington considers military action against Iran as a possible solution to Tehran's nuclear standoff. "Nobody wants to resolve this by any means other than peacefully, if it is at all possible," Cheney said Friday.
During his speech at World Affairs Council in Dallas, he repeated the accusations against Iran, claiming that Tehran seeks nuclear weapons.
The American vice president, who was interrupted by anti-war protestors, also claimed that a nuclear Iran would be a threat to US national security.
The US allegations have been rejected by Iranian officials and the UN nuclear watchdog as baseless.
Iran has repeatedly emphasized its nuclear program is a peaceful one.
