US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says there's no point in talking to Iran unless the clerical regime changes its behavior.
Rice said Tuesday that true diplomacy "is not a synonym for talking," but must be combined with pressure tactics.
Her remarks came during a speech to the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC.
Rice made it clear that she does not believe that Iran has quit pursuing a nuclear bomb. She said that there may be a time to engage the Iranians, but "not while they continue to inch closer to a nuclear weapon."
