Colin Powell on Iran fallout

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Saturday he's sure Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and President Obama "can handle it" and "will work their way through it," referring both to Iran and North Korea.

Responding to a reporter's question, he said he has bee in touch with all three, noting that they know each other well and that he will continue to be available to them if they wish to talk to him about the current state of affairs.

When asked if he had a message for Clinton, who's recovering from surgery to repair a fractured elbow following a fall earlier this week, he said: "Take it slow--don't push your recovery."

I just caught the end of a CNN live broadcast, so I hope to have more info in a bit.
