BBC News - Why the White House is not on the war path over Iran: "The US is going to press for new economic sanctions against Iran, this time after the latest UN report on Iran's nuclear plans.
Senior officials say they will try to "ratchet up the pressure" on Iran, making it more expensive to do business in that country, with the aim of hurting its economy.
But what they are not doing is more important. The White House is not dusting off any military plans.
When I asked an official about the military option, he said that nothing was off the table but there was "plenty of space" to build more pressure through sanctions. Iran had to demonstrate to the world that its nuclear programme was peaceful, he said."
