The United States is mulling a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in 2006 and has informed North Atalantic Treaty Organisation member states to make similar preparations, a report claimed Sunday.
Military action against Tehran to foil its nuclear ambitions is one among several options being considered by NATO members, military intelligence officials familiar with the Iran file told German daily Der Spiegel.
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Oman are also being updated with the plan, with American officials saying a military operation is "a possible option", without giving a timetable, Ynetnews reported citing the report.
The daily also quoted a New York Times report last year saying that US commando units have already infiltrated Iran to mark nuclear facilities for a possible strike.
