"Iran making long-range missiles: Straw"

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw Tuesday told the House of Commons that it was an "incontrovertible" fact that Iran was developing long-range missiles.

He told MPs that he believed that Iran was "at the very least developing options for a nuclear weapons programme" but added that the current approach to controlling this was best.

Straw was speaking during a brief foreign affairs debate after the main opposition Conservative MP Brian Binley said that evidence suggested that Iran was rapidly developing systems which could see a weapon reaching the Channel coast (southern England).

He asked what plans were in place to deal with this "doomsday situation".
