( AP ) - Iran's foreign minister on Tuesday welcomed the U.S. decision to "correct" its claim that Tehran has an active nuclear weapons program, state-run radio reported.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was referring to a U.S. intelligence assessment released Monday that reversed earlier claims that Iran had restarted its weapons program in 2005 after suspending it in 2003.
"It's natural that we welcome ... countries that correct their views realistically which in the past had questions and ambiguities about ( Iran's nuclear activities)," Mottaki said.
