U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's trip to London this week is
officially focused on Afghanistan and Yemen, but she will also talk to
the major powers about what to do next in the nuclear deadlock with
Iran. Clinton will also will seek to enlist more countries such
as Indonesia to bring pressure on the Iranians, a senior U.S. official
said. "It is fair to say that Iran will be a fairly important
element of her trip here," said the official, speaking on condition of
anonymity. Clinton's London trip includes a Wednesday meeting on
assisting Yemen root out al Qaeda militancy and a Thursday conference
on Afghanistan, where the United States is leading a major military
build-up in the fight against Taliban insurgents. But Iran, a
regional power locked in a deepening stand-off with the rest of the
world over its nuclear programme, looms in the background as a
potential flashpoint.
