Iran says Powell nuke comments - ''disgrace''
07-07-2004

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said Wednesday that recent remarks by the US Secretary of State
Colin Powell on Iran was a source of disgrace for the US administration before world public opinion in general and the Islamic states in particular.

Asefi's comments came a day after Powell claimed at a joint press conference with the Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom in Washington that Iran was "pursuing nuclear weapons development, or worse, acquiring a nuclear weapon."

"The US is not following an independent policy towards Iran's nuclear programs but instead is toeing the line of the Zionist regime in this regard," said the FM spokesman.

He further noted that by raising claims about Tehran's attempts to develop nuclear weapons, Shalom was seeking to overshadow nuclear activities of Israel and preventing its nuclear secrets from being disclosed to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
