VIENNA, Austria, Nov. 10--The US will not win if it opts for a new war with Iran, Germany’s former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer said on Saturday. Any US attack on Iran would be a ’nightmare’, said Fischer during a discussion at Vienna’s Institute for Human Sciences, IRNA reported. He described as ’shocking’ comments on the issue made by Rudolph Giuliani, who is one of the Republican candidates for the 2008 presidential election. Giuliani said last month: “If I become president of the United States, I guarantee you, we will never find out what they will do if they get nuclear weapons, because they are not going to get a nuclear weapon.““The military option is not off the table.“Fischer said the upcoming elections in Iran and the US could heighten tensions between the two countries over Tehran’s nuclear program. He warned the US not to start another war that could not be won. The United States is spearheading international efforts to thwart Iran’s atomic work, but Iran denies western charges that it is trying to build atomic weapons. source
