Powell Warns Iran Is Developing Nuclear Weapons

HeadlineNov 18, 2004

The Bush administration has begun suggesting again that Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons and that it is determined to acquire a nuclear bomb. On Wednesday Secretary of State Colin Powell said, “I have seen some information that would suggest that they have been actively working on delivery systems. . . . You don’t have a weapon until you put it in something that can deliver a weapon.” Powell’s comments came just days after the International Atomic Energy Agency said it had not seen any information that Iran had conducted weapons-related work. Also this week Iran agreed with Britain, France and Germany to suspend its uranium enrichment program.
