Clinton: Concern
over Iran Should Be
Addressed with "One Voice"
(2010-02-25)
The international community
has "little choice" but to
impose higher costs on Iran
due to its provocative
actions related to its
nuclear program, Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton tells congressional
panels, adding that the
Iranian leadership’s failure
to respond to U.S.
engagement efforts have
helped to build
international consensus in
support of economic
sanctions that some
countries might have opposed
otherwise.
The secretary told the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
that President Obama had
offered Iranian leaders "the
opportunity to engage in a
serious way," and described
it as "a necessary and
important step" that was
taken despite some domestic
political criticism.
However, Iran has failed to
respond "in a serious
manner," and since the
initial U.S. offer of
engagement there has been
the revelation of a new
nuclear facility at Qom,
Iran's decision to attempt
uranium enrichment to a
higher percentage, and the
International Atomic Energy
Agency's February 18 report
that Iran may be trying to
design a nuclear-armed
missile.
