"WASHINGTON: US spy agencies have conducted "war games" to consider possible pre-emptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and concluded that such action would not resolve the standoff with Tehran, according to a report in Newsweek magazine."

"Newsweek reported that the CIA and the Defence Intelligence Agency played out the possible results of pre-emptive strikes.

"The war games were unsuccessful at preventing the conflict from escalating," an unnamed US air force source told the magazine.

Hawks within the Bush administration are advocating regime change in Tehran, through covert operations or force if needed, Newsweek said."
