WASHINGTON, March 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey has warned Iranian leaders that they would suffer the consequences if they make "a gross misjudgment" of American will on preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, the American Forces Press Service reported Saturday.
During an interview with the Public Broadcasting Service, Dempsey said that while Iran operates on its own internal logic, that doesn't mean Iranian leaders will be reasonable.
The top U.S. military officer was responding to the criticism of his previous statement made during a recent hearing at the Congress, where he said that the Iranian regime was "rational."
