WASHINGTON (Forbes), August 9,2007 – US President George W. Bush today warned Iran that there would be ‘consequences’ for the country if it has been shipping weapons, including sophisticated roadside bombs, into Iraq.
Bush said high-level US talks with Iranian officials in Baghdad aimed ‘to send the message that there will be consequences for people transporting, delivering, EFPs — highly sophisticated IEDS (improvised explosive devices) — to kill Americans in Iraq.’
At the same time, Bush warned Iraq that there would be ‘a price to pay’ if the United States caught Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki playing a ‘non-constructive role’ with Iran.
