Iran Rejects What It Calls Rice's 'Threats'

Iran said on Sunday it was impervious to remarks by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who accused Tehran's 'unelected mullahs' of a dismal human rights record and covering up efforts to build a nuclear bomb.

In remarks on Thursday, Rice made clear Washington was unwilling to become involved in European negotiations, which resume on Tuesday, to broker a deal that would offer economic incentives to Iran if it agreed to drop nuclear fuel production.

'Such threats will not have much effect on the Islamic Republic and we will continue our path of sovereignty, independence and saying no to hegemony,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a news conference.
OK, so does anyone want to tell me what our policy IS in Iran? Rice recently said diplomacy over invasion (this week) but now says we're not to be part of the diplomacy that's going on. so what's the plan now?

OH CRAP! i forgot! we're talking about the BUSH White House here...They don't use plans.
