Bush calls Obama to say, 'thanks for the tip'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has decided to break with previous policy by sending one of its most senior diplomats to engage Iran's top nuclear official, the White House announced Wednesday.
The U.S. decision to attend the talks is not "linked in any way" to Iran's missile tests last week, a senior administration official told CNN. The official said the meeting "had been pending before" the tests occurred. In fact, the official, who wanted to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, stated that Bush decided to send an envoy to Iran on June 16.
