New UN Susan Rice: Obama will use ‘direct diplomacy with Iran.’

Thinkprogress:


Fulfilling a campaign promise that was relentlessly attacked by the right wing, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said yesterday that the Obama administration will engage in “direct diplomacy” with Iran in order to curb the country’s alleged nuclear program:

“We look forward to engaging in vigorous diplomacy that includes direct diplomacy with Iran, as well as continued collaboration and partnership” with the other four permanent members of the Security Council — Britain, China, France and Russia — plus Germany, Rice said.
