Clinton says Iranian military supplanting government

The Washington Times reports that US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that Iran is becoming a military dictatorship, a new US accusation in the midst of rising tensions with Iran over its nuclear ambitions and crackdown on anti-government protesters. Speaking to Arab students at Carnegie Mellon University's Doha campus, Mrs. Clinton said Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps appears to have gained so much power that it effectively is supplanting the government.
