Defense Minister Ehud Barak told visiting U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday that Israel was keeping on the table all the options regarding a response to Iran's nuclear program, indicating that a military strike is still a possibility even as Washington tries to persuade Israel to give diplomacy more time.
"We clearly believe that no option should be removed from the table. This is our policy. We mean it. We recommend to others to take the same position but we cannot dictate it to anyone," Barak told reporters as he stood alongside Gates during a Jerusalem press conference.
