Hillary Clinton: Iran moving toward military dictatorship

DOHA (Reuters) – The United States believes Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is supplanting the Iranian government and that Iran may be heading toward a military dictatorship, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday.

Speaking in a televised session with students in Qatar, Clinton said: "The Revolutionary Guard … we believe is, in effect, supplanting the government of Iran.

"That is how we see it. We see that the government of Iran, the supreme leader, the president, the parliament, is being supplanted and that Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship. That is our view."
