| [Al Arabiya Latest] U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton said Sunday that Iran faces "greater costs" for taking "provocative steps," and warned of "new measures" to convince Tehran to change course in its nuclear drive. "Iran leaves the international community little choice but to impose greater costs for its provocative steps," Clinton said in a speech at the U.S.-Islamic World forum in Doha. "Together, we are encouraging Iran to reconsider its dangerous policy decisions," the U.S. diplomatic chief said, adding that Washington wants peaceful solution to Tehran's nuclear issue. "I would like to figure out a way to handle it in as peaceful an approach possible, and I certainly welcome any meaningful engagement, but ... we don't want to be engaging while they are building their bomb," she said in the Qatari capital, Doha. During her visit to the Gulf Clinton will seek to enlist more Arab diplomatic pressure on Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, U.S. officials said. The officials also said Clinton also hoped to win greater Arab support to revive Israel-Palestinian peace negotiations, which have been frozen for more than a year. U.S. President Barack Obama has made little headway in his effort to restart the peace talks or to persuade Iran to rein in a civil nuclear program which the West, as well as many Arab states, suspect is a cover to develop atomic weapons. |
