before_revision: Location of Iran A top US commander says that the United States is not planning a preemptive attack on Iran despite increasing rhetoric from Washington, D.C. On Sunday, The Observer ran a report saying that US interrogators are under pressure to find evidence in Iran. The United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also stated that there is no  authorization for military action against Iran. Citing Micah Brose, a privately contracted interrogator working for the US military in Iraq, the British newspaper, The Observer reported there is " huge " pressure on interrogators to uncover evidence pointing to Iran . "They push a lot for us to establish a link with Iran when interrogating Iraqi insurgents ", Brose claimed in the interview, adding that "it feels a lot like, if you get something and Iran's not involved, it's a let down." He further claimed that people have said to him that "they're really pushing the Iran thing." Brose denied being asked to manufacture evidence, but stated that "if a detainee wants to tell me what I want to hear so he can get out of jail ... you know what I'm saying." The article by The Observer  said most military intelligence officers refused to comment but said that one said "The message is, 'Got to find a link with Iran, got to find a link with Iran.' It's sickening." A strike is "not in the offing" - William J. Fallon  Admiral William J. Fallon, the commanding officer of United States Central Command which is responsible for the Middle East, East Africa and Central Asia, speaking in Monday's Financial Times, said that a strike againt Iran is "not in the offing." "None of this is helped by the continuing stories that just keep going around and around and around that any day now there will be another war which is just not where we want to go," Fallon continued. "Getting Iranian behavior to change and finding ways to get them to come to their senses and do that is the real objective. Attacking them as a means to get to that spot strikes me as being not the first choice in my book."  "The question is, why will Tehran not talk to us?" - Condoleezza Rice Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was on ABC's This Week on Sunday, saying that a Senate resolution designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard as a URLanization does not authorize military action. "This resolution is saying that there needs to be strong measures taken against Iran, which we have definitely done," Rice continued. "And if the Iranians suspend their enrichment and reprocessing, I'm prepared to meet my counterpart anyplace, anytime, anywhere. So the question isn't why will we not talk to Tehran. The question is, why will Tehran not talk to us?" "No congressional authority exists for unilateral military action against Iran" - Hillary Clinton Senator Hillary Clinton, who is running for President, voted for the resolution. She has said that the resolution could not be used to justify war, but rather it seeks to escalate diplomatic efforts. "We wish to emphasize that no congressional authority exists for unilateral military action against Iran," she said in an open letter on November 1, 2007. Attack on Iran would be a "nightmare" - Joschka Fischer Last week, former Foreign Minister of Germany, Joschka Fischer said that he was worried that the upcoming US Presidential election could heighten tensions between the US and Iran. He found particularly worrisome a statement by Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani in October that "If I am 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 United States government accuses Iran of arming insurgents in neighbouring Iraq.It has also refused to rule out military action against Iran for its alleged attempts to build nuclear weapons.
