Obama focus on Iran
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama on Monday gave a sense of his foreign policy priorities by saying he sees much work to do on reining in Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs and promoting Middle East peace.
"There is much to do, from preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to Iran and North Korea, to seeking a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians, to strengthening international institutions," Obama said as he announced his choice of Sen. Hillary Clinton to be his secretary of state.
