TEHRAN, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- The United States should let the U.N. nuclear watchdog decide the status of Iran's nuclear program, the spokesman for the Iranian foreign minister said Sunday.
The United States said in its November 2007 National Intelligence Estimate that Iran worked on a nuclear weapons program prior to 2003.
The New York Times said Friday the Bush administration planned to give the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, classified information detailing Iran's nuclear program prior to 2003.
"(The United States) should present whatever they have to the IAEA and the IAEA should decide what to do with it," Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini told a Tehran news conference, the Fars News Agency reported.
"We are sure the Americans have nothing, otherwise they would have already presented (the information) and created a poisonous atmosphere against Iran," he added.
