Finally... BBC US to target anti-Iraq activity US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (file picture) Rice says Iran and Syria should "end their destabilising behaviour" US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has warned that the US will take action against any country seeking to destabilise Iraq. Her statement comes hours after US forces stormed an Iranian consulate in the northern Iraqi town of Irbil. In a major policy speech, President George W Bush said the US would take a tough stance towards Iran and Syria, whom he accused of destabilising Iraq. Mr Bush also vowed to increase troop numbers in Iraq by more than 20,000. 'Vital region' US troops raided the Iranian consulate in Irbil at about 0300 (0001 GMT), taking away computers and papers, according to Kurdish media and senior local officials. The top US diplomat said Iran and Syria should "end their destabilising behaviour" in the region. "The United States will defend its interests and those of our friends and allies in this vital region," she added. She also said she was ready to meet Iran's leadership if it suspended its enrichment of uranium and pursuit of nuclear weapons. "I repeat an offer that I have made several times, today. If Iran suspends its uranium enrichment, which is an international demand and not just an American one, then the United States is prepared to reverse 27 years of policy and I will met with my Iranian counterpart any time, anywhere."
