Government  in secret talks about strike against Iran
By Sean Rayment, Defence  Correspondent
(Filed: 02/04/2006)

The Government is to hold secret  talks with defence chiefs tomorrow to
discuss possible military strikes  against Iran.

A high-level meeting will take place in the Ministry of  Defence at which
senior defence chiefs and government officials will consider  the
consequences of an attack on Iran.

It is believed that an  American-led attack, designed to destroy Iran's
ability to develop a nuclear  bomb, is "inevitable" if Teheran's leaders
fail to comply with United Nations  demands to freeze their uranium
enrichment programme.

Tomorrow's  meeting will be attended by Gen Sir Michael Walker, the chief
of the defence  staff, Lt Gen Andrew Ridgway, the chief of defence
intelligence and Maj Gen  Bill Rollo, the assistant chief of the general
staff, together with officials  from the Foreign Office and Downing Street.
