International community must unite against Iran: US

ROME (AFP) – The international community must unite to pressure Iran as it seeks to boost its nuclear programme, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday.
“No one has tried more sincerely to reach out and engage with Iran than the President (Barack) Obama,” Gates said after meeting his Italian counterpart Ignazio La Russa in Rome.
“The international community has offered the Iranian government multiple opportunities to provide reassurance of its intentions. The results have been very disappointing.”
“If the international community will stand together and bring pressure on the Iranian government, I believe there is still time for sanctions and pressure to work. But we must all work together.” (more)
