US Air Force ready to attack Iran

01 March 2012 [12:49] - TODAY.AZ
US Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz says the military is prepared for a possible military offensive against Iran over the country’s nuclear energy program.

"We have an operational capability and you wouldn't want to be there when we used it," he said when asked about a 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb.

The general, however, refused to comment if the MOP bomb could reach underground nuclear sites in Iran. "Not to say that we can't continue to make improvements and we are," he said on Wednesday.

"The bottom line is we have a capability but we're not sitting on our hands, we'll continue to improve it over time," Schwartz added.
