/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The French Defense Minister, Herve Morin, when
visiting the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, said he possesses
information that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.
He dismissed comments by the head of the UN atomic watchdog the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that there was no evidence
Iran is building nuclear weapons, saying Paris has evidence to the
contrary.
IAEA head, Mohamed ElBaradei, who has repeatedly defended the accord
in the face of U.S. criticism, said on Sunday there was still no
evidence to back the U.S. claims Tehran was seeking a nuclear bomb.
"Our information, matching those of other countries, gives us
the opposite feeling," Morin told a news conference in Abu Dhabi,
