“We are planning to try to bring the world community together in applying pressure to Iran through sanctions adopted by the United Nations that will be particularly aimed at those enterprises controlled by the Revolutionary Guard, which we believe is, in effect, supplanting the government of Iran,” said Ms. Clinton to students at Carnegie Mellon.
“We see that the government of Iran, the Supreme leader, the president, the parliament is being supplanted and that Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship,” she said.
The Revolutionary Guard was created after Islamic clerics toppled the U.S.-backed government during a 1979 revolution.
