Rice Warns Iran that U.S. Will Defend Israel
[ AFP] U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Iran on Thursday that Washington had beefed up its "security presence" in the Gulf and that "We will defend American interests and the interests of our allies." "In the Gulf area, the United States has enhanced its security capacity, its security presence, and we are working closely with all our allies...to make (sure) they are capable of defending themselves. These are all elements of America's intention and determination to prevent Iran from threatening our interest or the interests of our friends and allies. I don't think the Iranians are too confused either about the capabilities and power of the United States to do exactly that."
