AP – World News, May 19, 2008 (excerpts) – Leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives said in Israel on Monday that they do not rule out military action against Iran to stop it from acquiring nuclear bombs.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said a “full array of tactics are on the table” in efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
House majority leader Steny Hoyer backed Pelosi. “No options should be taken off the table,” Hoyer said when asked by Israeli journalists if military action should be taken against Iran.
Both Pelosi and Hoyer are Democrats.
