The Latest on Iran

Secretary of State Clinton is in the Middle East right now, and one of her main goals is to get support for aggressive international sanctions against Iran.  These sanctions are intended to be a strong response to Iran's apparent nuclear weapons ambitions, but to work they need to have broad international support.  Clinton is warning that Iran may start a new nuclear arms race in the region, but at the moment the dialog seems to largely consist of insults being traded back and forth between Iran and the U.S.  Meanwhile, China and Russia are still holding back.  Where is this all going?
