UNITED NATIONS The Obama administration will work to stop any "illicit" nuclear aspirations by Iran, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told the U.N. Security Council on Thursday.Rice spoke briefly about Iran in her speech, which was primarily focused on the Obama administration's approach to Iraq and its people. She called on the international community to provide greater support to the millions of Iraqi refugees who have been displaced because of the war. Her comments on Iran came toward the end of her speech, when she mentioned that the United States plans to pursue a "comprehensive strategy" in the Middle East, including relations with Syria, Israel and the Palestinian people. The United States "will seek to end Iran's ambition to acquire an illicit nuclear capability and its support for terrorism," Rice said. President Barack Obama has said the United States is looking for opportunities for "face to face" dialogue with Iran, though he has "deep concerns" about Tehran's actions.
