LONDON, July 22 (Xinhuanet) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Thursday urged Iran to comply fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stressing that Britain will do whatever it can to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapons capability.

    "It is not acceptable that Iran has a nuclear weapons capability, and that is why we are working with our other partners to make sure that it doesn't," Blair told his monthly news conference at 10 Downing Street.

    "We will do whatever we can and whatever is necessary to ensure that Iran obeys the very clear statements that have been made by the atomic energy authority," Blair told reporters.

    The UN nuclear watchdog agency has passed a resolution drafted by Britain, Germany and France, saying that Iran did not fully cooperate in the investigation into its nuclear program.

    The United States accused Iran of trying to develop a nuclear weapons program, an allegation that Iran has strongly denied. Enditem
