Hillary Clinton, in her most bellicose comments since the presidential race began 15 months ago, yesterday threatened to "totally obliterate" Iran if it launched a nuclear strike against Israel.
Speaking as voters went to the polls in the Pennsylvania primary, she said: "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran" if it attacks Israel.
Barack Obama accused her of sabre-rattling, saying this was the kind of language that had been used by the Bush administration over the last few years and was not helpful.
In an interview with ABC's Good Morning America, Clinton was asked what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.
