Hillary Clinton In Saudi Arabia:Support Against Iran Attained

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in the Saudi capital Riyadh and met with Saudi King Abdullah and Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal.

Clinton continued to urge Iran to reconsider its nuclear policy and said that US must work with the international community to convince Iran to change its course. International solidarity is critical in dealing with Iran.

We are working actively with our regional and international partners in the context of our dual track approach to prepare and implement new measures to convince Iran to change its course, she told a news conference. Clinton, on a visit to the Gulf, is seeking to enlist more Arab diplomatic pressure on Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions and to win greater Arab support to revive frozen Israel-Palestinian peace talks. US President Barack Obama has made little headway in his effort to restart peace talks or 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. The United States is leading a push for the UN Security Council to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran, which says its nuclear program is to generate electricity so it can export more of its valuable oil and gas.
