ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT – The top U.S. military
officer said Sunday he does not assume Iran's brief seizure of an Iraqi oil
well is part of an orchestrated plan in Tehran to threaten its neighbors.
Adm. Mike Mullen also said he's worried about "the clock now running" on the
Obama administration's efforts at trying to keep the lines of communication
open with Iran. The administration had given a rough
deadline of the end of 2009 for Iran to respond to an offer of
engagement and show that it would allay world concerns about its nuclear
program.
Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, supports that offer, and has
said any military strike on Iran, whether by
Israel or the United States, should be a last resort.
The U.S. and others worry that Iran's program is intended to develop nuclear
weapon. Iran says its work is peaceful and designed to generate electricity
but has defied international demands to prove it is not trying to build an
atomic bomb.
The administration is now beginning a push to get international support for
additional penalties against Iran as a result, and Mullen suggested he thinks
that backing was there.
"I think signals are very clearly in the air that another set of sanctions,
another resolution, that that's coming," he said.
"I grow increasingly concerned that the Iranians have been non-responsive.
I've said for a long time we don't need another conflict in that part of the
world," he said. "I'm not predicting that would happen, but I think they've
got to get to a position where they are a constructive force and not a
destabilizing force."
The administration is concerned about Iran's refusal to carry through on a
tentative deal struck in October that called for Iran to ship the majority of
its low-enriched uranium out of the country in exchange for fuel to run a
research reactor.
The deal was seen by the U.S. and its negotiating partners as a step toward
building confidence in Iran's claim that its nuclear program is designed
entirely to generate power, not weapons.
The administration also stepped up the momentum toward sanctions after the
revelation in September that Iran was secretly building a second
uranium-enrichment facility near the holy city of Qom.
Mullen, who spoke to reporters while flying from Germany back to the U.S.,
said the oil well incident adds to his concerns about Iran's intentions toward
neighboring Iraq and the rest of the world.
"I worry a great deal about ... Iran and destabilizing as opposed to
stabilizing," he said.
"And I worry about, you know, the clock now running on the dialogue and the
engagement and sort of, where are we if that doesn't finish well? And
certainly recent indications are ... they're not very responsive."
Meanwhile in Washington, senior Obama adviser David Axelrod said time was
running out for Iran to cooperate.
"The international community is going to have to deal with that if they don't
change their minds," he said. "I think that the world is united and is willing
to take additional steps if the Iranians don't turn around. ... Plainly, there
are going to be consequences if they don't turn around."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the administration should act on its own to
punish Iran and demonstrate support for Iranian dissidents.
"The president should stand up for the people who are demonstrating and
risking their very lives on behalf of freedom on the streets of Tehran," he
said. "Let's make it very clear we are with these people who are struggling
for freedom as we always have."
Axelrod spoke on ABC's "This Week," while McCain appeared on "Fox News
Sunday."
