Berlin rejects US official`s claim on Iran`s nuclear weapons program

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Berlin, Aug 20, IRNA -- The German government dismissed remarks by US 
Undersecretary of State John Bolton alleging that Iran had admitted to
Germany, France and Britain that it could build nuclear weapons in 
three years. 
"I cannot confirm this," a top German Foreign Ministry official 
told IRNA in Berlin Friday. 
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, was reacting to 
Bolton`s statements in the US media claiming Iran had informed the 
three European powers that it could produce weapons-grade uranium 
within a year and nuclear weapons within three years. 
A hawkish nominee of US President George W.Bush, Bolton has 
become the frontman for America`s psychological warfare with Iran. 
Tehran has repeatedly stressed that its nuclear program is 
peaceful and has called on the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA) to finally close its file with the agency.
