Sydney, Australia (AHN) - Indicating the possibility of U.S. military action against Iran if it refuses to give up its nuclear ambitions, Vice President Dick Cheney on Saturday said that 'all options are on the table.' However, he also stressed the U.S. prefers to resolve the matter via diplomatic channels.

"It would be a serious mistake if a nation such as Iran became a nuclear power," Cheney said during a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard in Sydney.

He also accused Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of making inflammatory statements.

Cheney made the remarks after the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency - International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a report few days before, noting Tehran has failed to halt nuclear enrichment and ignored the U.N. Security Council's resolution.

went around the world attending funerals, not pushing policies which necessitated them.
