Washington, March 5 (SPA) - Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on Saturday said he saw no need for military action against Iran for its suspected nuclear development program, given strong diplomatic efforts to address the issue. Powell told Fuji Television in an interview that although military force remained an option, President George W. Bush had made it clear that he wanted to find a diplomatic solution. "The international community has come together to make it clear to Iran that they should not develop nuclear weapons and we are developing the efforts of the European Union ... and we are working with the International Atomic Energy Agency, so the issue of conflict for Iran I don't think arises yet," he told the Japanese television station in a live interview. --SPA 1312 Local Time 1012 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/244529
