No options ruled out on Iran, White House says

WASHINGTON Feb 16 (Reuters) - The White House on Tuesday would not rule out any options, including the military option, for dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said: "I wouldn't rule out anything." He said Iran's rejection of every attempt by the Obama administration for diplomatic engagement is proof that its nuclear program is "not of the means and type that they have tried to convince others that's it's for."
