Iran said Monday the international community had no reason to be suspicious about its nuclear ambitions, despite allegations by the United States that it was trying to produce a nuclear weapon. "Iran has not violated any of its commitments to international treaties in its nuclear program," Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi was quoted as saying by the official Islamic Republic News Agency. His comments came a day after U.S. National Security adviser Condoleezza Rice said her government sees a new international willingness to act against Iran's nuclear program. The world is finally "worried and suspicious" about the Iranian government's intentions and is determined not to let Tehran produce a nuclear weapon, she said. Iran has long maintained its nuclear program is peaceful. Kharrazi said the United States has called for referring Iran's nuclear case to the U.N. Security Council, but "reasons must be provided in order to send the file to the Security Council." "No lack of commitments is seen by Iran," he said, adding that whatever Iran has done in the area of nuclear energy is based on its international commitments and is in line with the country's legitimate rights. --more 1515 Local Time 1215 GMT
