retaliation against Iran over an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States.
Asked whether using force was a possibility, the Democratic lawmaker told reporters: "I don't think anything should be taken off the table at this point in time."
"There are a lot of options, they've all got to be discussed very carefully. I think the first thing to do is analyze all of the evidence very carefully," said Kerry, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The senator said key lawmakers on the Senate's Intelligence, Armed Services, Homeland Security, and Foreign Relations Committees were scheduled to receive a briefing from President Barack Obama's administration on the alleged conspiracy.
Kerry said lawmakers would assess "what the layers of knowledge are" in Tehran about the alleged plot.
US officials on Tuesday said they had charged two Iranians, one of them a dual US citizen, with preparing to carry out a bomb attack on the Saudi ambassador under a plan "conceived, sponsored and directed from Iran."
The US Justice Department accused the Quds Force, a special forces unit incorporated in Iran's Revolutionary Guards, of being involved, based on testimony given by one of the Iranians who was in US custody.
The other Iranian, said to be a member of the Quds Force, was at large and believed to have left the United States, according to US authorities.

I’d follow Colonel Allen West to hell and back.
I wouldn’t follow john kerry to the 7-11.
would Saudi Arabia declare war if an planned American ambassador’s assassination was exposed?
booo...I don't think there is a statute of limitations.
A whole bunch if they photoshop them.
Iran ruined Carter’s re-election chances. They saw a weak President and an opportunity.
Looks like Carter 2.0 is in full swing and on track.
Hate to be cynical, but that’s the very first thought I had when I heard that news. False flag!
“This is how Obama takes out Israel.”
Minor correction: This is how Obama takes out Israel... and the U.S. Republic.
The same John Kerry who was all for a war with Iraq from 1998-2002; then was against the war in 2003 and 2004; and again in 2006-2007.
A lying,steaming pile of human excrement.
It is exactly F&F.
Darrell Issa has Holder backed into a corner and is not going to let him out. Holder knows that F&F goes straight to little bammy and his bosses.
Little bammy has to redirect the attention of F&F to something else before Holder cracks and makes a midnight run to Issa and spills the entire story, thus totally destroying the bammy "Presidency."
So presto, the info they have on a "dual US citizen" they have been watching for what, over a year, is paired up with a fed pretending to be a Zeta and the package is tossed in front of the media that instantly drops all other stories and begins beating the drums.
At EXACTLY the same time ISSA issues the subpoena for Holder.
There is NOTHING that bammy will not attempt here. This reaction to the Holder situation clearly indicates just how afraid they are of F&F.

Yup, the disaster of war when democrats are in charge.
It’s a Lions led by donkeys tragedy.
And you are probably right, it could go nuclear...it would start with Israel being forced to use neutron weapons IMO.
It had to be said. Thanks for doing it so nicely.
I actually believe there was a plot. 0bama’s weakness and appeasement invite this type of behavior from nutbag terrorists and totalitarians. Iran should’ve been dealt with before Iraq.
UMMM
I seem to remember Saddam trying to assassinate Bush I
All Clinton did was lob a couple of Cruise Missles at some radar site
Obama bows to the House of Saud. He never has bowed to US citizens.
a conspiracy theorist would say that things like this are kept in reserve for just such moments...
Given the democrat penchant for lobbing a few Tomahawks at office buildings in the dead of night, I would be very worried if I were an Iranian janitor.
