US strike on Iran 'not on the cards', says Annan
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said today Iran is co-operating with European countries in discussing its nuclear energy programme and that he did not foresee a military strike by the US, which accuses Iran of developing nuclear weapons.
Until recently, the US said that while it would pursue diplomatic means to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear programme, it was not prepared to take the military option off the table.
