U.S. President George W. Bush said "the world is united and concerned" about what he called Iran's "desire to have not only a nuclear weapon but the capacity to make a nuclear weapon or the knowledge to make a nuclear weapon."

Referring to the IAEA's long-standing questions about the extent of Iran's nuclear program, [Mohammed Saeedi] said: "From our point of view, these few questions are not important. The main questions have been settled."

"The overall (IAEA) report does not contain negative points and it shows that the agency still has the necessary capacity to investigate Iran's nuclear issue, and the path that some countries have chosen to investigate the issue in another venue (the Security Council) is completely wrong and misleading," he told Iranian state TV.
