The Obama administration is stepping up pressure on Iraqi leaders to overcome a five-month political impasse that has prevented the formation of a new government.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the U.S. was growing increasingly concerned about the deadlock and that there was a "critical need" for Iraqi politicians to put national interests ahead of personal ones and assemble a government quickly. She spoke to reporters after meeting Iraq's foreign minister at the State Department.
Iraqi politicians have been unable to agree on a new government since March 7 elections, which did not give any party a majority in the 325-member parliament. For the past several months, major coalitions have been engaged in intense negotiations to win enough allies to form a government.
