British government to hold ”secret” meeting on possible attack on Iran

The British government is set to hold secret talks with defense chiefs Monday to discuss possible military strikes against Iran, the Sunday Telegraph reported. "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 program," the paper wrote.

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