No Security Guarantee for Iran, Rice Says

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The U.S. has not offered a guarantee against attacking or undermining Iran's hard-line government in exchange for having Tehran curtail its nuclear program, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday.

"Iran is a troublemaker in the international system, a central banker of terrorism. Security assurances are not on the table," Rice said. (...)

"What we're talking about is a package that will make clear to Iran that there are choices to be made," she said on "Fox News Sunday."

"Either that there will be sanctions and actions taken against Iran by the international community or there's a way for them to meet their civil nuclear concerns," she said.
