Pakistan yesterday denied President Pervez Musharraf had said Iran wanted nuclear weapons. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry statement came after Tehran demanded Musharraf clarify his remarks to the German magazine Der Spiegel which quoted the president as saying in an interview that Iran was "very anxious to have the bomb". Foreign Ministry spokesman Jalil Abbas Jilani said Musharraf's comments were incorrectly reported. "The president was asked whether or not Iran was anxious to develop a nuclear bomb. The president said 'I don't know,"' Jilani said. "With this explanation the misunderstanding that has developed as a result of misreporting of the president's remarks should be removed," he said.
