U.S. Makes 'Direct Contact' With Iran Over Terror Plot, Obama Says Tehran Will Pay 'Price'
FoxNews.com ^ | 10/13/11 | FoxNews

The United States has made "direct contact" with Iran to discuss the alleged Tehran-backed plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington, the State Department said Thursday.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, without saying who was involved in the talks, confirmed that the Obama administration has contacted Iran over the charges unveiled Tuesday.

"We have had direct contact with Iran. I'm not going to give you any further details than that," she told reporters.

The outreach comes as President Obama forcefully defends U.S. claims that the plot had "direct links" to the Iranian government.

Obama, in his first public remarks on the alleged plot, described the Iranian involvement Thursday as a "dangerous escalation" and said the international response will ensure the country "pays the price" for its behavior.

Those Iranians must be quaking in their boots or whatever they wear at the thought of 0bama giving them a stern lecture from a teleprompter.

Ahmedigoofball really doesn’t like Saudi Arabia huh. Obama isn’t well known for standing up to Islamic bullies. There must be something special here. What would keep Saudi Arabia from cleaning Iran’s clock, anyhow?

Obama....says Iran will 'pay a price'

And right now, Obama's figuring out a way to lend them the money to pay it on favorable terms, perhaps with a provision tucked away in his "jobs bill."

I can see Obama now: first it will be a very angry letter followed by a foot stomp (maybe 2) and then he will apologize to Iran for over reacting.

He’s going to have Solyndra build a few windmills and make them pay billions for them, if it’s good enough for us taxpayers, it’s good enough for Iran!

Actually my guess goes like this........

The Saudis and Israelis will jointly strike the Iranian nuclear infrastructure. It will be Obama's way to do nothing, yet do something.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland

Earlier I heard Susan Rice was involved in this as is Hillary of course.

Looks like the women are coming to Obama's rescue now that F & F is getting hot.

"We have had direct contact with Iran."

Iran is now delighted.

Two-bit dictators want nothing more than attention from a big dog - even if it's snapping at their heels.

Imadinnerjacket knows the USA won't attack. Throw a tantrum, yes, make a show of force and rattle sabres and otherwise draw attention to the little guy, but he's safe.
