He thinks it is unlikely that the Obama administration will take military action against Iran.
SYNOPSIS: Michael O'Hanlon, director of the Office of Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution
To say that a military strike is only one of the options is not to say that there is already a detailed plan to attack Iran. If there is a detailed plan, that would indicate that there are indeed preparations for a strike and suggest that military action may be imminent.
He added that the Obama administration is opposed to a pre-emptive strategy and the US does not want to lose international support, so resorting to war is unlikely. If it wants to attack Iran, the United States will also need to seek the support of countries such as China, France, Britain and Russia to exert economic pressure on Iran.
