Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he was “probably” the strongest advocate in the Bush administration of a military strike against Iran’s nuclear program.
Cheney told FOX News Sunday in an interview conducted Friday that he believed the military threat was crucial to negotiations with Iran on ending its efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.
“I was probably a bigger advocate of military action than any of my colleagues,” Cheney said. “I think it was very important that the military option be on the table. I felt that negotiations couldn’t possibly succeed unless the Iranians believed the military option was on the table.”
