The United States believes Iran's Revolutionary Guards are driving the country toward military dictatorship and should be targeted in any new UN sanctions, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.
Speaking in Qatar before flying to Riyadh, Clinton denied the United States planned to attack Iran and said Washington wanted dialogue with Tehran but could not "stand idly by" while Iran pursued a suspected nuclear weapons program.
Clinton said Washington hoped to pressure Iran through a U.N. Security Council resolution targeting the Revolutionary Guards, who she accused of usurping the government.
"We see that the government of Iran, the supreme leader, the president, the parliament, is being supplanted and that Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship," she told students in a televised session. "That is our view."
Clinton later told reporters in Riyadh she hoped Iran's religious and political leaders would "take back the authority which they should be exercising on behalf of the people."
