Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, warned Iran on Monday that it would use “all elements of its power” to prevent Tehran developing a nuclear weapon as US aircraft carriers were deployed in the Gulf amid escalating tensions.
Mrs Clinton, who was speaking in Jerusalem at the end of a one-day visit, sought to reassure Israel about US support stressing that both countries would work "in close consultation" to halt Iran's alleged nuclear weapons programme.
