Petraeus: U.S. Has Plan to Deal with Iran's Nuclear Program
(CNN) Christiane Amanpour - In addition to diplomacy and sanctions, the U.S. has developed contingency plans in dealing with Iran's nuclear facilities, Gen. David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, said Sunday, adding that the military has considered the impacts of any action taken there. Petraeus said Iran has strengthened its nuclear facilities and has enhanced underground tunnels. Still, the facilities are not bomb-proof. "They certainly can be bombed," he said. "The level of effect would vary with who it is that carries it out, what ordnance they have, and what capability they can bring to bear."
