The US military is updating its war plans for Iran on a routine basis, but is not in a heightened state of planning over Tehran's suspected nuclear arms ambitions, a senior American general said today.''

As far as the planning efforts, we simply go through our normal mode of updating whatever war plans we have for all parts of our region,'' Air Force Lt Gen Lance Smith told reporters in response to questions at a Pentagon briefing.''

And, you know, although I haven't paid particular attention to the Iran piece, we are in that normal process of updating our war plans,'' added Smith, deputy commander of the US Central Command.His command oversees US military operations in the Middle East, parts of Asia and north Africa.
