Clinton says Iran undermining Gulf stability

PARIS: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Iran on Saturday of undermining peace and stability in the Gulf by trying to advance its agenda in neighbouring countries.

"The United States has an abiding commitment to Gulf security and a top priority is working together with our partners on our shared concerns about Iranian behaviour in the region," she told journalists.

"We share the view that Iran's activities in the Gulf, including its efforts to advance its agenda in neighbouring countries, undermines peace and stability," she said.
