Visiting U.S. Chief of Staff Mike Mullen stated in Tel Aviv on Sunday that attacking Iran would have “unintended consequences” and maintained that Tehran is up to three years away from nuclear capability.

"I worry a noteworthy deal about the unintended consequences of a strike," he told reporters. "I judge the Iranians are very difficult to predict."

Mullen's visit to Israel on Sunday is the second in the past year as the United States continues to insist that diplomatic restrictions can cease Iran from producing a nuclear warhead intended at annihilating Israel. The Obama administration is hoping that China will drop into line and join U.N. Security Council nations to back stiffer sanctions against Iran.

“Of course, there are limits and this [army] option is on the table, yet we are not there yet,” Mullen said, explaining that Iran is one to three years away from being able to bring forth a nuclear weapon. Last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that Iran has produced its first batch of enriched uranium, a key element for a nuclear weapon.

Mullen is planned to meet on Monday with Defense Minister Ehud Barak and senior IDF officials while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is visiting Saudi Arabia and Doha, where she said on Sunday what Israel has been warning for years, namely that "evidence is accumulating" that Iran is aiming to build a nuclear weapon.

The United States has said it is depending on the Persian Gulf States to employ their influence to pressure Iran to halt its unsupervised nuclear program.
