And certainly in the case of the Iranian situation, I think everybody would be best suited by or best treated and dealt with if we could deal with it diplomatically," Mr Cheney said in the interview, aired on MSNBC. But if Iran continued to resist demands to rein in its nuclear program - which Tehran insists is solely to produce electricity - the US would seek international sanctions against the country from the UN Security Council, the vice-president warned. He also suggested that Israel might itself take action against Iran to safeguard its own future - indicating that this would be highly undesirable.
