(CBS) A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the planning is being driven by what one officer called the "increasingly hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq - smuggling weapons into Iraq for use against American troops.

"What the Iranians are doing is killing American servicemen and -women inside Iraq," said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

U.S. officials are also concerned by Iranian harassment of U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf as well as Iran's still growing nuclear program. New pictures of Iran's uranium enrichment plant show the country's defense minister in the background, as if deliberately mocking a recent finding by U.S. intelligence that Iran had ceased work on a nuclear weapon.

No attacks are imminent and the last thing the Pentagon wants is another war, but Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen has warned Iran not to assume the U.S. military can't strike.

"I have reserve capability, in particular our Navy and our Air Force so it would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," Mullen said.

Targets would include everything from the plants where weapons are made to the headquarters of the organization known as the Quds Force which directs operations in Iraq. Later this week Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is expected to confront the Iranians with evidence of their meddling and demand a halt.

If that doesn't produce results, the State Department has begun drafting an ultimatum that would tell the Iranians to knock it off - or else.

Surely, the population has learned NOT to run when someone says sic'em..... But, you're a proponent of sic'em first...ask questions later.

The White House has never proven that Iran is doing anything. They make lots of claims, but have provided no proof. Let's see, that sounds a bit like Iraq, doesn't it? "Everyone knows Saddam has WMDs." Well, he didn't. "Everyone knows they'll welcome us with open arms." Well, they didn't. "Everyone knows they can pay for their own reconstruction." They're not. "Everyone knows Iran is killing Americans." I don't.

Bring our soldiers home and they can't kill any more, if they are. It was George W. Bush who CHOSE to send our troops to Iraq. Did you expect the people in that region to just set back and welcome them? Oh, right, you believed Dick Cheny and Donald Rumsfeld. :roll:

WMD's weren't the main reason for war in Iraq. That was just one of many............................. :roll:

We were just enforcing the first Gulf War treaty with Iraq and the UN propositions. Just like Clinton did, except this time we went to the full measure to remove a tyrant..

Rumor? Saddam himself led others to believe he still had WMD's. :roll:
