U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE IN A LETTER TO OBAMA SAYS MILITARY STRIKE INEVITABLE
JAN 28 2010
US Secretary of State meets European counterparts to discuss additional round of sanctions on Iran. US senators send letter to president, say military action could be inevitable.
WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that "Iran's
attitude regarding its nuclear program leaves the world community no choice
but to increase pressure on Iran."
During a press conference following the convention on Afghanistan in London,
Clinton said that pressure would be used in the hope that Iran would
reconsider its position regarding diplomatic contacts.
Earlier, Clinton met with the foreign ministers of the UK, France, Germany and
Italy to discuss Iran's nuclear program. Some sources reported that the five
discussed the latest developments in the Iranian arena and the possibility of
implementing another round of sanctions.
Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives and the Senate were calling to
expedite steps against Iran in an attempt to prevent it from acquiring nuclear
arms.
In a letter to President Obama, senators claimed military action in Iran might
be needed, while members of the House of Representatives urged Clinton and
Defense Secretary Robert Gates to "support Israel's sovereign right to take
whatever action necessary for its own defense."
The two letters were presented Wednesday to high echelons in the
administration.
Also on Thursday, US administration strongly condemned Iran's hanging of two
men in the wake of political unrest in the country, calling the executions a
"low point" in Tehran's crackdown on dissent.
"It will only serve to further isolate Iran's government in the world and from
it's people," White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters.
