Russia has no evidence on Iran`s nuclear warheads: says Russian FM

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Moscow, Nov 21, IRNA -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said 
here Sunday that his country has no evidence or information suggesting
that Iran produce nuclear warheads. 
Iran`s nuclear programs are in line with international and 
peaceful regulations, Russian news agency Interfax quoted Lavrov as 
saying. 
In Russia-US talks, there is no room for the issue of Iran`s 
nuclear warheads which has recently been raised, he added. 
In the latest US allegations, US Secretary of State Colin Powell 
claimed that Washington has information suggesting that Iran is 
seeking to adapt its missiles to carry nuclear warheads. 
"Powell`s remarks were so baseless," top Iranian national security
official and nuclear negotiator Hassan Rowhani told state television. 
"I think Powell himself realized his mistake. I think Powell fell 
into a trap and has again given himself a bad name." 
Powell is to be formally replaced as secretary of state by US 
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice once her nomination is 
approved by the Senate.
