Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday the United States would give "a very thorough vetting of every option that is available," to quell a worsening conflict in Iraq, including drone strikes and cooperating with Iran.
Kerry told Katie Couric in a Yahoo! News interview that he doesn't think the Sunni insurgents creating havoc in Iraq will take Baghdad in "the near term," but "when you have people murdering, assassinating in these mass massacres, you have to stop that — from the air or otherwise."
ISIS forces have taken over several cities in the country, and on Sunday released photos that appeared to show the militants mass murdering members of the Iraqi army. President Barack Obama said Friday that troops would not be sent back to Iraq.
Asked whether or not the United States might cooperate militarily with Iran, a staunch ally of Iraq President Nouri al-Maliki, Kerry replied, "I wouldn’t rule out anything that would be constructive."
