WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says any attempt by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to undermine what the U.S. sees as the central purpose of next month's nuclear conference at the United Nations will meet with failure.
Clinton said Thursday she does not know what the Iranian leader intends to tell the conference, which opens Monday.
She said the conference is meant to review, revise and reinvigorate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The conference could provide Ahmadinejad a platform for lobbying against a new round of U.N. sanctions.
Iran is under international pressure to accept tighter restrictions on its nuclear program.
