Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Amess (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) on Monday, 27 February 2006 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Iran
- Question
- What assessment he has made of Iran's nuclear weapons capability and delivery systems; and if he will make a statement. [53936]
- Answer
-
We continue to assess closely the development of a potential nuclear weapons capability in Iran, including delivery systems, taking careful note of the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran has failed so far to provide the international community with the necessary confidence that its nuclear programme is for exclusively peaceful purposes, and we remain concerned that it is developing options for a nuclear weapons capability. We await the forthcoming detailed report from the IAEA.
