Clinton says she expects Iran to 'pull some stunt'

Breitbart:

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she thinks Iran will "pull some stunt" in the next few days because it expects further United Nations sanctions over its nuclear program.
"They have consistently tried to avoid being held accountable," Clinton told reporters before leaving on a trip to Latin America.

The U.S. suspects Iran is enriching uranium to build a nuclear warhead. Tehran denies this and insists on its right to a peaceful nuclear power program.

The U.S. hopes to bring a fourth sanctions resolution to a U.N. Security Council vote this week.

On Sunday, Clinton said, "I fully expect Iran to pull some stunt in the next couple of days because they know that sanctions are on the way."

She added, "I think we will see something coming up in the next 24 to 48 hours where Iran says, 'Wait a minute, wait a minute, look at what we're going to do now."

Iran is just one of the issues Clinton will discuss with Latin American leaders during this week's trip. She is expected to press Brazil, which opposes U.N. penalties against Iran, to switch sides.

Brazil, an elected member of the U.N. Security Council, recently worked with Turkey to broker an agreement with Iran that would avert fresh penalties.

Uh, like, maybe, possibly using its navy to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza?

and if anyone knows how to avoid being held accountable, not to mention pulling a stunt it would be a clintoon

Um, yes, those wacky Iranians and their "stunts":

 

Gaza blockade: Iran offers escort to next aid convoy

 

• Aide threatens use of Revolutionary Guard

• Netanyahu warns of Jerusalem missile danger

• Aide threatens use of Revolutionary Guard

• Netanyahu warns of Jerusalem missile danger

 

Ali Shirazi, an aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, speaks under a picture of the supreme leader in Tehran Hojjatoleslam Ali Shirazi, an aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, pledged Tehran would send Revolutionary Guard units to escort Gaza aid convoys.

 

Iran has warned that it could send Revolutionary Guard naval units to escort humanitarian aid convoys seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza – a move that would certainly be challenged by Israel.

 

Any such Iranian involvement, raised today by an aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would constitute a serious escalation of already high tensions with Israel, which accuses Tehran of seeking to build a nuclear weapon and of backing Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls Gaza.
