US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Pakistan on Thursday that it would face serious consequences if it continues to deal with Iran.
A private TV channel quoted Clinton as telling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Obama administration is moving swiftly to impose new sanctions on Iran amid concerns in Congress that the White House will not be aggressive enough in cracking down on financial institutions that do business with Tehran’s Central Bank. ”What we are intending to do is to ratchet up these sanctions as hard and fast as we can,” Clinton said. She said Pakistan was going to reach an agreement with Iran while the US has planned to impose sanction on Tehran. She added that if Pakistan deals with Iran “it would be very destructive for Pakistan”. Clinton said the US administration and Congress were on the same page regarding Iran and sanctions against it.
