| Description | US DEFENCE Secretary Robert Gates warned the United States' enemies yesterday against trying to test the nation's resolve during the early months of the new administration in Washington.
Gates said the US would stay deeply involved in the Middle East and the Gulf under Barack Obama. "I can assure you that a change in administration does not alter our fundamental interests, especially in the Middle East," he told a security conference in Bahrain.
Asked about Iran, he said: "Nobody is after a regime change in Iran. What we're after is a change in policies and behaviour. The president-elect and his team are under no illusions about what Iran has been doing in the region, and is doing in terms of its own weapons programmes."
