Thiruvananthapuram: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh yesterday (Apr 19, 2006) said India stood for resolution of the Iran nuclear issue through diplomatic efforts.

"We do not feel that the situation is right for military action. We feel that there is scope for resolving the issue through debate, discussion and dialogue," Sing told Asianet TV this evening.

"Our emphasis is that diplomacy must be given a chance. Diplomacy and discussion must produce results which are acceptable to Iran and the world community," the Prime Minister said.
