JERUSALEM Oct 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that Iran should accept a deal that it has been offered on reprocessing enriched uranium because Washington and its allies had limited patience.

"We are willing to work toward creative outcomes, like shipping out the low-enriched uranium to be reprocessed outside of Iran, but we are not going to wait forever," she told a news conference in Jerusalem.

"Patience does have finally its limits and it is time for Iran to fulfill its obligations and responsibilities to the international community and accepting this deal would be a good beginning."
