CBS) A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on
Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options
for attacking Iran. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin
reports that the planning is being driven by what one officer called the
"increasingly hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq - smuggling weapons into
Iraq for use against American troops.
"What the Iranians are doing is killing American servicemen and -women
inside Iraq," said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
U.S. officials are also concerned by Iranian harassment of U.S. ships in the
Persian Gulf as well as Iran's still growing nuclear program. New pictures
of Iran's uranium enrichment plant show the country's defense minister in
the background, as if deliberately mocking a recent finding by U.S.
intelligence that Iran had ceased work on a nuclear weapon.
