CNN.com - Bush: Diplomacy 'just beginning' on Iran - Apr 28,


UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- President Bush said Friday that diplomatic efforts are "just beginning" concerning Iran after a U.N. nuclear watchdog agency's report found Tehran in breach of a deadline to halt uranium enrichment.

In its eight-page report, the IAEA said that while it has not found evidence in Iran of "diversion of nuclear materials" -- a reference to making weapons -- the agency is "not in a position to rule out anything at undeclared facilities," according to diplomats.

On Friday, the president of the United Nations General Assembly, Swedish Foreign Minister Jan Eliasson, warned that any military action against Iran could bring "catastrophic consequences both politically and economically," the AP reported.
