Gates: Time Is Not Right for Iran Talks
By ROBERT BURNS
The Associated PressMonday, January 15, 2007
BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Stepped up U.S. military activity in the Persian Gulf is to counter "very negative" behavior by Iran and undercut its belief that American forces are overcommitted in Iraq, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday.
Gates said the time is not right for diplomatic talks with Iran, but left open that possibility for the future.
