Regarding a possible U.S. attack on Iran – while the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue – Admiral Mike Mullen said "opening up a third front right now would be extremely stressful on us."

Their warnings come amid reports of Israeli military exercises as rehearsals for an attack on Iran and disclosures about new U.S. covert operations against Iran.
