HARI SREENIVASAN: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned today that Iran is drifting toward a military dictatorship. In a televised event with Arab students in Doha, Qatar, Clinton said Iran's Revolutionary Guards have seized power in the political, military and economic spheres. And she said the world has to do something to stop the Guard from expanding its control.HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, U.S. secretary of sate: We are planning to try to bring the world community together in applying pressure to Iran through sanctions adopted by the United Nations that will be particularly aimed at those enterprises controlled by the Revolutionary Guard, which we believe is, in effect, supplanting the government of Iran. I mean, that is how we see it. HARI SREENIVASAN: On the nuclear issue, Iran's top nuclear official claimed Iran has received a new nuclear proposal from Western nations. But the U.S., France, and Russia denied that claim, insisting the only offer on the table is the one brokered by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog last October. That proposal calls for the regime to send most of its uranium abroad for processing. At least 18 people were killed in Belgium when two commuter trains crashed into each other.
