The White House said following the recent nuclear agreement with Iran the military option remains on the table, yet the Obama administration will give priority to diplomacy.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said US President Barack Obama has said the military option is still on the table and this nuclear agreement calls on Iran to decrease its nuclear program and allow the international community to investigate on it.
These remarks were made before US Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s trip to the Middle East for talks with US allies on the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran. Washington has increased its support for allies in the region and British Prime Minister David Cameron has said the nuclear agreement with Iran doesn’t mean London is standing alongside Tehran.
