FACTBOX- Quotes from Hillary Clinton confirmation hearing

(Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State-designate Sen. Hillary Clinton faced hours of questioning on Tuesday by former colleagues during confirmation hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Here are some of her quotes on key topics:

IRAN

"We will pursue a new, perhaps different approach. What we have tried has not worked.

"No option is off the table."

"We will do everything we can pursue through diplomacy, through the use of sanctions, through creating better coalitions with countries that we believe also have a big stake in preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear weapon power."

"We have no illusions, Mr. Chairman, that even with a new administration looking to try to engage Iran in a way that might influence its behaviour, that we can predict the results. But the president-elect is committed to that course and we will pursue it."

CUBA

"The president-elect (Barack Obama) is committed to lifting the family travel restrictions and the remittance restrictions. He believes ... that Cuban-Americans are the best ambassadors for democracy, freedom and a free-market economy."
