"We obviously condemn this attack," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday. Even as she noted the Thai authorities were investigating the incidents, she went on to draw a parallel between Tuesday's attacks in Bangkok and Monday's attacks against Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia, both of which are also under investigation.
Israel has blamed Iran for the attacks in all three countries.
"These events do come on the heels of other disrupted attacks targeted at Israel and Western interests, including an Iranian-sponsored attack in Baku, Azerbaijan, and a Hezbollah-linked attack in Bangkok, Thailand, before this," Nuland said. "So they serve as a reminder that a variety of states and non-state actors continue to view international terrorism as a legitimate foreign policy tool, which we consider reprehensible."
So does that mean the United States agrees with Israel's assertion that Iran's fingerprints are all over the attack in attacks?
"We are not going to prejudge this. We're going to await the investigation," Nuland said. Then she added, "We do note that they come on the heels of other disrupted attacks that do have Iranian fingerprints on them."
So you do have suspicions or some reason to believe Iran is involved, the reporters at Tuesday's briefing asked? After all, there have been many other attacks around the world that the United States isn't drawing parallels to.
"We're just concerned that these come on the heels of other incidences that clearly had links back to Iran," Nuland said. "With regard to these recent ones, we're going to await the results of the investigation, but we are looking at the links."

Nobody needs to bomb Iran, at least as a first strike. Get us free of the addiction to fossil fuel and let the whole Arab world rot in its own filth. All they have is oil, and they hold us all over a barrel because of it.
So its OK for Israel to bomb civilians in Iran (scientists) but its not OK for Iran to bomb Israeli government personnel? How does that make sense?
The whole world hates israel. Pass it on.
wow.. Israelis train Iranians to bomb their own scientists and kill every target. Iranians target 3 places and cant kill targets and bomber injured himself. How stupid does all this sound. I feel sorry for all you stupid F&%Ks that read this stuff and never learn anything.
There is no GOD, there are no chosen people. All religions are made to FOOL you. If you need religion to tell you how to be a decent human being then you have more problems and nothing can help you. Take a pill go die under a tree so you can at least say you had a purpose in life.
Stop with your F^^^ ing atheist theory, no one really cares what you have to say any ways. we get it, your Pis at the world, you blame world religion,you may have homo tendencies, your family is uneducated, but for the love of peace shut up and stop arrogant, Thank you Good-bye and God Bless
I love you
Proof? The GOP don't need no stinking proof!!!
Everyone should remember that the purpose of diplomacy is to PROLONG a crisis! This crisis is NOT going to go away, or be resolved with sanctions, no matter what the politicians say. The "Iranian Problem" has ONE solution, and it is military! We need to go to war and defeat these radicals who have been destabilizing the region and indeed the entire world for the past half century!
The length's, or is that depth's, to which this country and it's master, Israel, will go to is unbelievable. Talk about grasping at straws.
On the other hand, my neighbors car was broken into the other night. Could be the Iranians. Better call Homo Land 'Security'.
we need no proof, we need to attack the idiots in return.
But...

Victoria Nuland is a traitor as she is a top zionist officer in the new world order. Her position of defending the dirty evil zionists in racist apartheid israel is not in the best interests of the United States. All zionists in the federal government should be arrested and charged with treason.
All this fuss by the dirty evil zionists is criminal in substance and action.
Pure poppycock!
C'mon Harry, where are you writing from? tel-aviv? You're not in Seattle. Heck, I saw you change shifts in the IDF Propaganda CNN Unit building just this morning. You know our job is to pretend we're American patriots mouthing off anti-Iranian garbage. You know our jobs are to incite fear and to con the Americans to go to war for us. We want America to fight our wars for us. We want America to nuke Iran. Heck, you know we own America.
Carry on, soldier.
Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
