So who's makin a killing on this deal, Condi?

Rice says the deal will increase US influence in India

Ms Rice dismissed critics' fears that it would undermine efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons

The deal, which in effect marks a reversal of decades of US foreign policy, was struck by President Bush when he visited Delhi last month.

The US had restricted nuclear co-operation with India - which has not signed the 1972 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) - since it first tested a nuclear weapon in 1974.

In a sharp exchange, Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer raised questions about India's military relationship with Iran, highlighting reports that Iranian navy ships had recently visited an Indian port.

"There have been and probably will be Iranian port calls in a number of countries in a number of countries in the world," Ms Rice said.

Ms Boxer replied: "No, no, this isn't port calls, this is training of their military. Did you make this part of a deal, yes, or not, because the reason I'm asking is I think some of us would like to make it condition."
