US Air Force chief doesn't deny Iran attack plan,just won't give specifics

<snip>

Earlier Tuesday, Gen. T. Michael Moseley, Air Force chief of staff, said the Air Force may remain in Iraq for a "long time," most likely in a capacity similar to its lengthy patrols of the no-fly zone after the first Gulf War.

...

In other remarks, Moseley said it is not appropriate to comment on any specific plans for military action against Iran. Asked whether the U.S. Air Force has the ability to destroy nuclear targets buried deep in the ground there, he said it would depend on how deep the structure is and how it is built.

The military, he said, has a variety of munitions that can penetrate certain levels of concrete, steel and sand.
