Florida: The United States of America has developed contingency plans regarding Iran’s nuclear facility, Gen. David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command said on Sunday (January 10).
"It would be almost literally irresponsible if CENTCOM were not to have been thinking about the various 'what ifs' and to make plans for a whole variety of different contingencies," Gen. David Petraeus told CNN in Tampa.
The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States and Western European governments but was halted after the Islamic revolution in the country.
The US said that Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb in its secret-nuclear facilities. Whereas, the Islamic Republic of Iran says that its programme is for peaceful purposes.

Israel has called Iran's nuclear program the major threat facing its nation.
Iran is holding out on a United Nations-backed deal on its nuclear program that includes enriching uranium. The country had until the end of 2009 to accept the deal offered by the "P5 plus one" -- permanent U.N. Security Council members Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany. Instead, Iran countered, giving the West until the end of January to accept its own proposal.
