*surprise... surprise... eh?... also *read the last paragraph, they said the same crap about Iraq, they want to give you the notion that they want things done peacefully, when in reality, I know that they've wanted war with Iran for as long as they've wanted war with Iraq... chickenhawks active again, be on alert (they probably want to blow up something right about now)...

WASHINGTON (AFX) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that Iran had carried out a 'deliberate escalation' and urged that the matter of Iran's nuclear program be referred to the UN Security Council.
Rice told a news briefing that Iran was in 'dangerous defiance of the entire international community' as she joined condemnation of the Islamic republic by the UK, France and Germany.
She said the UN Security Council should 'call for the Iranian regime to step away from its nuclear weapons ambitions.
'The United States will encourage the Security Council to achieve this end.
'We will continue to consult closely with the EU-3 and the EU, with Russia, China and many other members of the international community in the coming days and weeks, as this new diplomatic phase begins and proceeds.'
Rice said the US wants 'a peaceful diplomatic solution to this issue, which spares the world from the threat posed by a nuclear armed Iran.'
