Giving a media briefing in Washington, the State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said that we would wait for the Pakistani Parliament to complete its ongoing review of its bilateral ties with US.Our contacts have continued all the way through... but in terms of where we go from here, were going to wait until the Pakistani side finishes its internal debate and then we will look forward to consulting with them on the results, Victoria Nuland said.On the other hand, Senator John Kerry in a statement before Foreign Relations Committee said that preventing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons is Americas gravest foreign policy challenge and requires persistent, hard-nosed diplomacy.To have any prospect of success, we need an approach that gives diplomatic engagement space to breathe, without allowing Iran to play for time and drag us into a drawn-out process, he said.It wont be easy to find a solution that might be acceptable to both sides, but also give the international community confidence that Iran neither has the capacity nor the desire to make a mad dash to nuclear weapons, he said.
