Date: 2007-10-28 (Sunday)
"I have not received any information that there is a concrete active nuclear weapons program going on right now.
Even if Iran were to be working on a nuclear weapon ... they are at least a few years from having such a weapon.
At this stage we need to continue to work through creative diplomacy ... as I don't see any other solution than diplomacy and inspections."
-- Mohamed ElBaradei, director of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told CNN.
