Blinken: Won’t rule out military action in Iran if they won’t come back for nuclear deal negotiations

Antony Blinken wouldn’t rule out U.S. military action if Iranian leaders do not return to the negotiating table next month to resume discussions to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon.

‘The Iranians have now said that they’re coming back to talks toward the end of November – we’ll see if they actually do, that’s going to be important,’ the Secretary of State chuckled when speaking to CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan.

While Blinken said diplomacy is the preferred path forward, the administration is also exploring ‘other options’.
