A military strike against Iran to prevent the country from becoming a nuclear power is still very much a possibility, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told NBC News' chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel, on Wednesday.
"A nuclear Iran is unacceptable," he said a week after world powers met with Iranian representatives in Baghdad.
"No option should be removed from the table," Barak told Engel.

Barak did not specify what would trigger military action.
We all hope it will be solved through sanctions or diplomacy, we will be happy to wake up one morning and see it is all over. It probably wont happen, Barak said, calling international talks with Iran "a ritual of self-delusion."
