FACTBOX: Quotes from Hillary Clinton confirmation hearing

(Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State-designate Sen. Hillary Clinton faced hours of questioning on Tuesday by former colleagues during confirmation hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Here are some of her quotes on key topics:

IRAN

"We will pursue a new, perhaps different approach. What we have tried has not worked.

"No option is off the table."

"We will do everything we can pursue through diplomacy, through the use of sanctions, through creating better coalitions with countries that we believe also have a big stake in preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear weapon power."

"We have no illusions, Mr. Chairman, that even with a new administration looking to try to engage Iran in a way that might influence its behavior, that we can predict the results. But the president-elect is committed to that course and we will pursue it."

CUBA

"The president-elect (Barack Obama) is committed to lifting the family travel restrictions and the remittance restrictions. He believes ... that Cuban-Americans are the best ambassadors for democracy, freedom and a free-market economy."

KOREA

"It is a framework that the president-elect (Barack Obama) and I believe has merit but it also provides an opportunity ... for bilateral contact as well between North Korea and the United States," Clinton said regarding the six-party talks that include the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States.

"This is under review. We are looking at all of the record of the negotiation up to this date. Our goal is to end the North Korean nuclear programs.

"It is our strong belief that the six-party talks ... is a vehicle for us to exert pressure on North Korea in a way that is more likely to alter their behavior."

DARFUR

"There is a great need for us to sound the alarm again about Darfur. It is a terrible humanitarian crisis compounded by a corrupt and very cruel regime in Khartoum."

"We have spoken about other options, no fly zones, other sanctions and sanctuaries, looking to deploy the UN/AU force to try to protect the refugees but also to repel the militias."
