US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held talks in Saudi Arabia on Monday looking to rally support for tough new UN sanctions against Iran, which she warned is turning into a “military dictatorship” bent on building a nuclear weapon.
The US chief diplomat flew in on her first visit to the oil-rich kingdom after using some of the strongest language yet about events in Iran from an administration which just a year ago had sought to hold out the hand of friendship.
She went straight into talks with her Saudi counterpart Prince Saud al-Faisal before heading to a desert camp outside the capital to meet King Abdullah.
