Obama strikes 'deal' with Russia on Iran nukes
| ||||
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [Images], said on Wednesday that Washington would do "everything it could" to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, even as Obama Administration aims at political engagement with Tehran.
"When we talk about engagement with Iran, our goal remains the same, to dissuade and prevent Iran from acquiring
nuclear weapons and continuing to fund terrorism," Clinton told Israel's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. That is the goal "of any tactic we employ," she said.
The top US diplomat also announced that her country would be sending two officials to Syria to explore "bilateral
issues". "We have no way to predict what the future of our relations might be, but we want to engage in a discussion,"
Clinton said.
The US under the Bush administration had shunned both Iran and Syria but President Barack Obama [Images] during his election
campaign vowed to engage them in order to work out a solution to the problems in the Middle East.
Obama had earlier said that US wishes to politically engage with Iran to find solution to the nuclear standoff.
