Panetta says hopes 'Gantz is right about Iran'
None
US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said Thursday he hopes that statements from Israel's military chief describing Iran's leadership as rational were "correct."
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz said Wednesday that the Iranian leadership "is composed of very rational people," and that while Tehran was reaching the point at which it could decide to build a nuclear bomb, the leaders had not yet decided whether to proceed. (AFP)
