Clinton accused the Bush Administration of "downplaying" the Iranian threat, saying "A nuclear Iran is a danger to Israel."

• The Khatemi factor: how much does it matter?

The hardline stance of the US toward Iran appears to be subsiding following the election of moderate cleric Mohammed Khatemi as president of the revolutionary state. While pressure on the US to lift its economic sanctions against Iran has already been mounting even before Khatemi's rise to power, there are signs that US-Iran relations could return to normal.

Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, top officials from the State and Treasury departments evaded any endorsement of sanctions legislation introduced in Congress.
