Condoleezza Rice, US Secretary of State called the Iranian regime the source of instability in the Middle East and stressed on extensive sanctions against the Iranian regime including arms embargo.

The ABC reporter asked Secretary of State: Given all that Iran is up to, especially what we’re seeing in terms of the flow of Iranian weapons into Iraq, isn’t it time to have a weapons embargo on Iran?

Condoleezza Rice: Well, indeed at some point it will be a very good thing to have a weapons embargo on Iran. There already is Security Council resolution language about vigilance about Iranian arms sales. And Iran is obviously a very big problem for not just the United States and Iraq, but for the arms that it’s supplying, for instance, to Hezbollah, which really is in violation of Resolution 1701 that ended the war in Lebanon.

Rice added: the United States in Iraq is very actively seeking out those Iranian agents who are engaging in activities that are dangerous to our forces and indeed dangerous to innocent Iraqis.

She asserted: We are all for a stable and peaceful Middle East, The Iranian regime is a destabilizing element.
