Annan urges Iran to clarify nuclear aims
24/05/2006 - 13:02:56UN chief Kofi Annan today urged Iran to clarify whether it is trying to develop nuclear weapons, and appealed for a negotiated solution to the dispute.
“What is important is that both sides – the Europeans who have been negotiating with Iran, and Iran – have indicated that they are prepared to continue negotiations,” Annan said on a visit to Vietnam.
“In my contacts with the Iranians, I have appealed to them not to reject anything out of hand.”
Annan said Iran should work with UN nuclear inspectors “to lift the cloud of uncertainty surrounding its nuclear project, whether it is seeking nuclear weapons or if it’s only peaceful.”
