Clinton: US outreach to Iranian regime has yielded little

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is acknowledging that the Obama administration's nearly year-long effort to engage Iran in negotiations over its nuclear program has fallen short.

Speaking to reporters at the State Department, Clinton noted Monday that the administration has offered Iran a chance to participate in meaningful discussions about its nuclear activities and intentions. And she added that it is clear the effort has "produced very little" in terms of gaining a positive response.

Clinton said that additional pressure will have to be applied to Tehran in order to persuade its leaders that the international community is committed to stopping Iran from gaining a nuclear weapons capability.
