"Despite being under fire for joining the US to invade Iraq, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has advocated keeping an attack on Iran on the table.
Blair, speaking on ABC News's 'This Week' on Sunday said if he were still in power, he 'wouldn't take the risk' of allowing Iran to gain nuclear weapons, adding an attack has to be an option.
"It is a problem," Blair said. "I don't know. You don't know. You're making a calculation of risk. When you're in the hot seat of decision making you have to decide. Maybe if they got them, they would never use them. But I don't think, if I was a leader today, and certainly, this is the view I took then, I don't think I would take the risk."
The British official urged the international community to go for tougher action against Iran and "prevent the Iranians from getting a nuclear bomb.”
He then argued that he would not want to see a military confrontation with Iran, but stressed that preemptive military action against Tehran could be inevitable....."
