Bush vows to pursue diplomacy against Iran

US President George W Bush said yesterday “the world is united and concerned” about Iran’s suspected desire to build nuclear weapons and said he will work with other countries to achieve a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

Mr Bush’s statement came shortly after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Tehran had enriched uranium and that it persists with related activities in defiance of the UN Security Council.

Mr Bush said the IAEA statement was important.
