China has described as fabrication a report it provided intelligence on Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons to the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
Repeating China’s officially stated stand that the Iranian nuclear issue should be resolved through diplomatic negotiations, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said, “The report is made of nothing and has originated from those with ulterior motives.”
Britain’s Daily Telegraph had reported China decided to help the International Atomic Energy Agency with intelligence on Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear technology after seized Iranian documents showed blueprints for turning uranium metal into warheads and the testing of high explosives used to set off radioactive material.
