Washington has information suggesting that Iran is seeking to adapt its missiles to carry nuclear warheads, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said on Wednesday. "I have seen some informations that would suggest that they've been actively working on delivery systems to deliver it," Powell told reporters traveling with him ahead of his arrival here to participate in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. "There is no doubt in my mind ... that they are interested in a nuclear weapon that have utility, meaning that this is something they would be able to deliver," said Powell. | That is sorta the next step. |
"I'm talking of informations that suggest they were working hard as to how you could put the two together." Iran has pledged to the UN atomic watchdog—the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) -- to suspend activities related to uranium enrichment, the process that makes nuclear fuel but which can also be harnessed to produce the explosive core for atomic bombs. The Vienna-based IAEA announced Monday that Iran had pledged to suspend activities related to uranium enrichment by November 22. The IAEA is also investigating US charges that Iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons and is to decide on the Iranian dossier in Vienna on November 25. | Bet they've turned a blind eye to the rocket issue. |
