AMMAN, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Director-General of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei sees no immediate
danger of military action against Iran, the Doha-based al-Jazeera television
reported on Saturday.
ElBaradei told the television station that he does
not expect the use of force "at this juncture," though he is not "100 percent"
sure this will not happen.
He said the issue of military action must be taken to
the UN Security Council after all diplomatic efforts are exhausted, adding that
there is still "enough time" for talks.
ElBaradei arrived in Amman Saturday for a three-day
visit. He was scheduled to hold talks with Jordan's King Abdullah II, Prime
Minister Marouf Bakhet and other Jordanian top officials on a nuclear program
for peaceful purposes.
The Energy Ministry of Jordan is working on details
of a project to acquire and operate a nuclear reactor by 2015.
Jordan is the third leg of ElBaradei's Middle East
trip, which has already taken him to Saudi Arabia and Oman.
