Telegraph: British gov't holding secret talks on Iran strike

Today, the London Daily Telegraph reported that the British government will be holding secret talks tomorrow on the possibility of a US-led military strike against Iran. [Telegraph] The report came the same day as Iran's announcement that it had sucessfully tested a "very powerful warhead designed to hit big submarines." [CNN]

Missiles launched by US submarines in the Persian Gulf would almost certainly be a key element of any strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, as shown in the Telegraph's "How the US could destroy Iran's nuclear programme" graphic. [Telegraph]
