But ex-UK diplomat Sir Richard Dalton said Iran was not "rushing towards a nuclear weapon".
Sir Richard, a former UK ambassador to Iran, said: "There are many signs, as reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency, that some research and development relevant to the development of nuclear weapons may still be going on.
"But it is wrong to say that Iran is rushing towards having a nuclear weapon.

Mr Joshi said Iran may not be actively pursuing the creation of nuclear weapons but leaving the option open
