Looks Like People Are Already Talking to the President-Elect

President-Elect Obama's now-(in)famous promise to talk to the Iranians seems to have loosened Persian tongues a bit. Of course, as would be expected from the Iranians, it's a never-ending litany of threats:

Iran warned U.S. forces in Iraq on Wednesday that it would respond to any violation of Iranian airspace, a message analysts said seemed directed at the new U.S. president-elect more than neighboring American troops.
The Iranian army statement, reported by state radio, came after a cross-border raid last month by U.S. forces into Syria, a move that was condemned by Damascus and Tehran.
But an Iranian politician said the timing suggested it was directed at Barack Obama, who won Tuesday's U.S. vote, more than the U.S. military, and might reflect concern by hardliners in Iran who thrived on confrontation with Washington.
Obama has said he would toughen sanctions on Iran but has also held out the possibility of direct talks to resolve rows, which include a dispute over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

For a pretty pessimistic look at the Iranians, read this one.
